    Issues with downloading unrated games


    I have a family account setup where i am the "adult" and i have 1 child tied to my account. I discovered today that if i attempt to download an unrated game from the Xbox store within a browser i get a message that says "Ask an adult to change your settings.
    To buy this an adult needs to change your family settings at account.microsoft.com/family".

    Well, i am the adult so i shouldn't have to worry about that. I even set the child account to unrestricted and it did not help. However, i can download unrated games with no issues from the Xbox itself or the mobile app. It only appears to be an issue
    from within a browser (multiple different browsers).

    A friend of mine is also having the same issue and has a support case opened with Microsoft, but so far they have not been very helpful. Any one else experiencing this issue?

    :)

    Hey there joebobjames,

    I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your sons not being able to download the Battlefield 4 beta.

    Even with permissions allowed from the main account, child accounts are blocked from downloading demos because that content is unrated.

    Is your son on a child account? If so, he may have issues joining a game with user-made (unrated) content.

    Issues with downloading unrated games

    Hey Exxi1e -

    Couple things to ask/try to see if we can help resolve this issue for you.

    First, what specific game(s) are you experiencing this issue with? Next, does this happen when you attempt to purchase or install the game?

    Next, let's try
    removing the child account from your Xbox One console, power cycling, and then attempting to purchase and/or install the game.

    Let us know if that works!

    Demos are usually unrated. Child accounts can't download unrated content regardless of settings.

    Cannot download BF4 Beta

    It's not that I can't download it because it won't appear or because of a technical issue. I can't download it because I apparently cannot download unrated content. But I have before.

    unrated content

    If you have a child account you cannot download rated M or unrated game demos.

    Can't purchase content due to age restrictions???

    I can view trailers and pictures of battlefield 4 but i cant download the open beta because "this profile is not allowed to download the game" or something like that to do with age and unrated content.
