Go to video, my video apps and then select IGN

  1. From the featured hub, you can:
    1. Watch one of the featured programs displayed in the center of the hub.

Using Family Settings to control access to content

If you are using Family Settings to control which movies and TV shows can be watched, IGN content follows these settings. For example, if you prohibit TV-MA-rated TV shows from being watched on your console, those programs will appear in the IGN app with a "restricted video" icon. To play a locked item, an adult must enter the Family Settings pass code.

For more information about how to restrict movies and TV shows using a pass code, please see Xbox 360 console parental controls.
