how can i add game pass to my childs account ?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

I understand you wanted your child to purchase a Game Pass. By default, a child's account is set to require an adult's approval before a child can make a purchase through their account. If you choose to turn to Ask to buy off, your son can make purchases without an adult’s approval. To turn this feature off, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Family page with an adult Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/family/home.

2. Find the child's name and select the Spending tab. (If he's not on your Family Group, kindly add his account as a MEMBER).

3. Under the Spending page, switch "Require approval for every purchase" to Off. It should be like the screenshot below.

It would be a good idea to setup child accounts for each child you have, and if you already have game pass ultimate, then using the account that has it then make the console the home Xbox, and everyone that uses the console will have access to it.

Hello Christopher,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I am very sorry for what you are going through understanding your confusion and annoyance, there are two possible reasons why you cannot purchase Game Pass Ultimate on the Xbox One S that you set up for your child.

The first possibility is that your child's account is not old enough to purchase Game Pass Ultimate. The minimum age to purchase Game Pass Ultimate is 18 years old in most countries. You can check the age of your child's account on the account settings page.

The second possibility is that your child's account does not have the proper payment information. To purchase Game Pass Ultimate, you need a valid credit or debit card. You can add payment information to your child's account on the account settings page.

I can give you some possible solutions to help you.

Check the age of your child's account on the account settings page. If your child's account is old enough, follow the steps to add payment information to the account.

If your child's account isn't old enough, you can try creating a new account for yourself and setting the Xbox One S as your primary console. This will allow you to purchase Game Pass Ultimate on your own account.

These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community

We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community. To use the ultimate PC game pass on your child's account, you must follow the instructions below.

Go to the windows settings, select the option accounts, click on email and accounts, click on add a Microsoft account, in which case you will add your child's account, as yours must already be logged into the system.

Now go to the Microsoft Store and log in with the account that has the game pass in it, which in this case is yours. Go to the Xbox app, and log in with your child's account, in this case, their profile.

*Important it is necessary that your account is logged in the Microsoft store, for the system to be able to understand that you have an active subscription.

*Thank you in advance for contacting us, I hope this can help you.

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for your answer.

When I go to my child's profile, I see two options under the "family" tab in my Microsoft account:
- Microsoft account balance
- Credit cards

Be so kind and explain to me:
Option a) - You say that I can authorize my child to purchase - the question is how to do it safely? This is the option to add a credit card to my child's account?

Option b) - You mean my child can use my gaming account? I don't like to mix it up.

Option c) - Should I add any funds to my child's account? What if this solution fails? Will I be able to get this money back? I just lost about $ 25 and wouldn't want to do it again.

Sincerely,
Jakub
