A few days ago, the web was buzzing when some details emerged on the Xbox version of the Windows 10 Creators Update. Today there is some more news to throw into the mix, as word is spreading that Xbox Live parental controls will get even better with Windows 10 Creators Update.

As seen above, Xbox’s Mike Ybarra responded to a Xbox fan on Twitter who pointed out that the Xbox Parental controls exceed the “draconian” level controls seen on the PSN. Microsoft’s head of Xbox marketing then mentions that these controls will improve even more with the Creators Update soon. It’s still not clear, however, how the controls will improve, but more details are sure to emerge in the future as the April release date of the Creators Update approaches.

From what was already revealed by Ybarra on a live stream on his Beam account, the Parental Control features would join a revamped Xbox Guide, improved multitasking, and increased options for GameDVR clips.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
