    Age restricted account, yet I'm 29

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your account detected as a child account.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please be guided that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

    Since you’re well past the age limit, this restriction shouldn’t be happening.

    Kindly check your birthdate by going to https://account.microsoft.com > Your Info and verify that your birthdate is correct.

    And then remove yourself from a family group because even if you don’t remember setting up Microsoft Families, your account might still be linked. Visit Microsoft Family Settings and remove yourself from any family group: https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    Next is to customize your Privacy and Security settings here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746875

    You can set the settings to "Allow" or to "Everyone"

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Child account cannot go online.

    EA games may have more stringent restrictions preventing child accounts from playing online. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is ESRB rated Teen so if your child is not yet a teen then that may be why the account cannot play the game online.

    I'll note that once the age has been set on the Microsoft child account then it must age naturally until it reaches 18 (20 in Japan and South Korea) and you will unlikely be able to change the age to get around age restrictions.

    Cant purchase things because i am underage!

    I'm sorry but official support cannot help you circumvent age-restrictions set up on your account.

    Battlefeild 3 says (player too young) even though i've got an adult account. By The Way this is mulyiplayer

    Your Xbox Live account's status has nothing to do with the age restriction. The age on your EA account I'm guessing is under the age of 13. EA doesn't allow those under 13 to play their online services.

    I'm just wondering, I know it says "Rage Quitting Kids" but it doesn't say any age restrictions. I'm a pretty well-handled self-control player, but I'm wondering if there are any age restrictions at all?
