It'd be nice if they'd do some simple common sense things - like give you a report of which games were being played and provide parental controls around which games can be played. It shocks me (but not really) that they haven't done this.

They are held back by the exact same technical obstacles that prevented Google from adding the ability to disable YouTube Shorts on your child’s account.

If you have a parental account this is all available for a while now: You can see which games your child plays, full chat history, and who they chat with.

And you can block them from interacting with specific games or users.
