The online multiplayer game developer Epic Games has introduced a brand-new sort of account designed exclusively for young players. Making internet play safer for kids, will also involve a number of limits. For children playing online multiplayer games, Epic Games will be providing "Cabined Accounts." Some of the capabilities will be restricted, according to reports, unless a parent or guardian grants their consent. For younger players, this offers a customized experience that is both safe and welcoming. According to Epic Games' news statement, "We believe that delivering a rich experience within the same overall game or product is the best approach to empower younger players to meaningfully participate without compromising on safety or privacy."

Today, this will begin to be implemented in Fall Guys, Rocket League, and Fortnite. The following features will be disabled: title downloads from developers other than Epic, text and voice chats, and paying for things. To activate caged accounts, all players must enter their birthdates at sign-in. It will immediately turn into a Cabined Account whenever Epic determines that the player is less than 13 or the country's minimum age for digital permission. According to PC Gamer, in order to start the parental consent process, the player will be prompted for a parent or guardian's email address. Based on their prior purchases or earned in-game content, a specific player can still access and play the games Fall Guys, Rocket League, and Fortnite while waiting for this. The email contains details about the child's Epic account, where parents and legal representatives can study information about Epic Games' privacy policies. They will be asked to confirm their age via SuperAwesome's Kids Web Services, and the email will also include their consent for extra features like Parental Controls.
