An Update to Our Shared Commitment to Safer Gaming - Xbox Wire
Nintendo, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Microsoft continue to collaborate to improve player safety across our platforms. We believe gaming is for everyone and strive to provide experiences that are positive and enjoyable for all, especially for our youngest players. We work to accomplish this by pursuing a multidisciplinary approach, integrating advanced technology, research-driven insights, supportive community efforts, and skilled human oversight. Since first announcing our shared commitment in 2020, we’ve partnered behind the scenes with Nintendo and Sony Interactive Entertainment on these efforts because we can accomplish more when we work toward the same goal. As we continue to invest in, adapt, and amplify our approaches to player safety, we have also evolved our shared principles to ensure they represent our constant efforts to keep our communities safe. Our latest shared principles reflect new innovations in player safety that have evolved with technological advancements, and new ways in which we collaborate through key industry initiatives and with trade associations. Prevention: Empower players and parents to understand and control gaming experiences Partnership: We partner with industry peers, publishers, regulators, law enforcement, and our communities to advance player safety Responsibility: We hold ourselves accountable for making our platforms as safe as possible for all players This partnership reflects our dedication to collaborating on solutions that enhance player safety and ensure our games are welcoming for everyone.

At the same time, we recognize that these challenges require collaboration and shared values, and so we welcome others to commit to the safety and well-being of players everywhere.
