January 15, 2026, 2:40 AM EST. Nintendo, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft renew their 2020 pledge to improve player safety across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. The companies say they will keep working behind the scenes to foster safer online environments, especially for younger players. In a recent Xbox Wire update, the firms outlined three shared principles: Prevention, Partnership, and Responsibility. Under Prevention, they will provide accessible safety controls, help parents tailor their children's experiences, and publish clear codes of conduct with guidance and enforcement. Partnership covers collaboration with industry bodies, regulators, law enforcement, researchers and the community, joint safety research and rapid incident response. They also coordinate with ESRB and PEGI to ensure proper ratings.
