    Destiny 2 Cross Save Authentication Error

    Yes, I figured it out. For whatever reason, there was an age restriction on my Xbox account, probably for my little brother. Anyway, removing the age restriction and trying again worked for me. Try checking if you have any restrictions at all on
    your account (Xbox or Microsoft) and remove them. This should work for you too.
    How exactly did you remove the age restriction? I don´t know how to do that. My brother actually plays on the xbox and I would like to play some destiny 2 there. I play on PS4 and i am getting the same error. Do I change it on the xbox itself?

    I can't download Deep Rock Galactic on pc with the Gamepass (I did check the service library for my region)

    Thank you so much for the response. If that is the case then why was I able to download DESTROY ALL HUMANS, with it also having an age restriction of +16? Also how do I check my age restrictions? My Microsoft account also shows that my age is well over 16 years, unless my Microsoft account is separate from my Xbox account

    How do I change age restrictions on my account?

    Hi JacobZBrown, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    This means that you're still a minor and your content restriction is set up for a specific age restriction.

    First, kindly sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/family and check if there is an organizer linked to yours. If there is, kindly ask the organizer or the adult where you're added as a member and have them manage your content filters.

    Also, if there is no organizer and you're seeing "create a family group", you can ask an adult to add you as a member by signing in to https://account.microsoft.com/family in that way they can manage your content filter.

    You can also, repair and reset the Xbox app before attempting to install the game.

    Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Search for the Xbox App > Advanced Options > Repair > Reset.

    I can't enable the Fortnite Epic friends list because my age is set wrong.

    You can change the age of your Microsoft account at http://account.live.com but keep in mind that will only change the age of your Microsoft account and not your Xbox account.

    Why won't Microsoft Families allow my kid to play multiplayer?

    Hello Thunder C, my name is Vanessa, and I would be happy to help.

    Why is Microsoft Families not allowing my child to play in multiplayer mode?

    I am very sorry for the problems you are having with Microsoft Families. I understand that it can be frustrating when something does not work as it should.

    There are several reasons why Microsoft Families might be preventing your child from playing in multiplayer mode. One possibility is that the age restrictions are not set up correctly. Make sure that the age restrictions for multiplayer mode are set to "Allow". You can also try increasing the maximum allowed age for multiplayer mode.

    Another possibility is that your child does not have a Microsoft account. If so, you will need to create an account for them and add them to your Microsoft family.

    Finally, it is also possible that there is a problem with the Minecraft software. Try reinstalling the game to see if that resolves the problem.

    Here are some specific steps you can follow to try to troubleshoot the problem:

    Check age restrictions. Open the Xbox Family app and go to "Settings". Then, select "Content restrictions" and make sure that the age restrictions for multiplayer mode are set to "Allow". You can also try increasing the maximum allowed age for multiplayer mode.
    Check if your child has a Microsoft account. If they do not have an account, you will need to create one for them. To do this, go to the Microsoft accounts website and click "Create account".
    Reinstall Minecraft. To do this, open the Microsoft Store app and search for Minecraft. Then, click "Install".

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

    Best regards,
    Vanessa.
