The best Xbox games for kids

Xbox has a huge library of games, some child friendly and some not so much. So we've rounded up Xbox video games that are suitable for younger and older kids. For peace of mind, you can use the Xbox parent controls to prevent your child from accessing games that they shouldn't. 

Minecraft Dungeons 

A spin on the original Minecraft game, instead of crafting, you get to save the world by battling villains and beasts. It's easy to learn and has online and offline multiplayer so your kids can team up and beat the evil Arch-Illager together. 

Released in 2020, Minecraft Dungeons is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass. 

Sonic Mania 

This is the perfect game if you want to introduce your child to Sonic. Enjoy great visuals, choose from a huge range of characters and get rewarded for speed. Sonic Mania even has a two-player mode so you can work together to save the world.  Sonic Mania was digitally released on Xbox One in 2017.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga 

As if combining Lego and Star Wars wasn't incredible enough, Xbox has taken it to another level. As one of the best Xbox games, especially for fans of the franchise, you get the ultimate Star Wars experience. Save the Galaxy by unlocking characters, team up using two-player mode and enjoy the comedy that runs throughout.
