    EA games with Child accounts


    My son has a child account under my adult account. He is 14 years old but finds he cannot play EA games on line with his friends. I have been informed that EA policy is not to grant access to anyone with a child account on line access. The only way this
    can be overridden is if his account is an Adult one. Simple, you would think. Apparently not. Xbox does not allow a change to a child account until that account reaches 18 years old. It cannot be changed on line by myself and Xbox will not do it as its against
    their policy. Unless I am missing something, no child with a child account can play EA games on line. Please tell me I am wrong and there is a way around this. If not, I have a very unhappy child, who now has EA games that he has paid full price for but are
    restricted in their use.

    :)

    Adult live account shows up as child on console

    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!

    What's the error message? Also, are you on a child account? EA doesn't permit younger accounts to play their games online.

    Xbox One Star Wars Battlefront 2 - 721 error -Every Time

    Is your Son on a child account? EA has blocked access to Battlefront games and Battlefield games to child accounts.

    EA Access for child on Xbox

    The thing is this there are certain features that are blocked by EA for child accounts.

    Here is an EA support article explaining this.

    EA access for child accounts

    I can not get any help changing the birth date on an account listed as a child account in my family page.

    It will allow you to play certain games with a child account.

    EA is known for not allowing child accounts through xbox to play their games.

    Game Pass for PC and EA Play - Not working

    So definitely nothing to do with the fact his Microsoft account and Gamepass Etc is set up as a child account? It’s only that the Gamer ID was linked to a child EA account?

    He should still be able to install and play EA games using his MS login and Gamepass?

    Thanks
