Child not able to play battlefront online from his account

Herbsnspices · May 16, 2021

Hi there

We have got a xbox family set up. Because my son is 12, we had to purchase battlefront from the parent account (it wouldn’t let is buy it from my child account somehow). Now my son is able to play the game from his account, but not play it online with his friends. Would someone know how to go about sorting this out without him to have to play from the parent account (which is password protected and need me to put password in etc.)

Many thanks all

:)

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.

Star wars battlefront cannot be played using a child account even if you have already change the privacy and online safety of your child account. This is a restriction put there by the game developer itself and Microsoft can't do anything about it.

Hey there!

Thanks for the support message.

Actually, EA has a restriction to not allow child accounts to play their games online and Star Wars Battlefront is an all online game. Regardless of the parental restrictions on the child account, EA has enabled that restriction. Sorry. Your child will
have to sign into an adult account or wait until he turns the legal age in your region to play that game.

Cheers!
