Fortnite Cross platform

When I go to play Fortnite cross platform on Xbox it brings up an error message that I cannot join the cross platform party. When I go into settings in Fortnite to change the option to allow cross platform parties, it does not appear. I am able to play
cross platform parties when on a computer. From what I have seen on the internet, the Xbox account has to be an adult account, but I cannot figure out how to promote a child account to an adult account.

Fortnite Cross Platform

Hello Xbox Fans! ヽ(•‿•)ノ

Sorry for the inconvenience. Gaming on a computer or PC has different advantages than a gaming console and all child accounts have been set up with maximum security to protect our younger customers while they game online.

All Microsoft accounts that are adult accounts should be eligible for cross play. The only accounts that have restrictions are the Microsoft child accounts. This is not a bug, Microsoft intentionally set up this barrier for many reasons and plan on releasing
a solution to change that option soon. We do not have an estimated time frame on this issue at the moment. As soon as we find out more information; we will update everyone on the forums about this issue. Keep an eye out for our response as we are diligently
working on allowing parent accounts to manage cross platform play in the parental settings.

We will be locking this thread due to it being revived by a new post. If the issue is on going, we recommend creating a new thread. We will be more than happy to answer any questions.

Happy gaming!

 

I don’t play this game but hopefully something in here Fortnite cross-platform crossplay guide for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Mac and mobile helps
out.

 

The account needs to be an adult one if the adult dont biost the account you need to wait until the account has reached adult status on its own...

 

Hello Cars1213

Child accounts are tied to an adult's Microsoft account. The adult account can control Family Settings and restrict some features of Xbox Live.

After you reach the age of adulthood (which varies by country and region), you can promote a child account to an adult account. This promotion removes the Family Settings and Xbox Live restrictions.

To promote a child account to an adult account

• Sign in to Xbox Live by using the account that you want to change.
• Go to Settings and then select Account.
• Select Promote Child Account.
  Note This option is available only if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached the age of adulthood (18 in the United Kingdom). The legal adult age varies by country and region. The age of an account owner is calculated
  by using the date of birth provided when the account was created. This date cannot be changed. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you created the account, your only option is to create a new account using the correct date of birth.

This is just stupid! Why can't our kids join cross platform parties? This has nothing to do with their age. This is clearly a bug.

 

MS are aware of the cross platform bug and are working on it, please check the title below for updates, apologies its not clickable as this forum one let me paste cross links to other posts

BUG - Cross platform play does not enable for child accounts no matter what settings you set. This needs EPIC/MS attention
