  1. My son cannot link his Fortnite account from pc to XBOX ONE


    Hello.

    My son plays Fortnite on PC and now he wants to play it on Xbox but unfortunately he cannot do that as a message says: " To do this. You are unable to see content other people make because of how your account is setup. This can be changed in your privacy
    and online safety setting on xbox.com".

    I went there and I changed all the settings but he still is unable to play and the message keeps coming up.

    Does anyone has any solution for that please?

    Thank you.

    :)

  3. Still no cross platform parties in Fortnite after changing Microsoft account from child to adult

    My son plays the game Fortnite (from Epic Games) on his Xbox One.

    Within Fortnite there’s supposed to be the following setting: “Allow Cross Platform Parties”

    This setting is does not appear on my son’s Xbox One.

    Therefore, I tried, modifying his Microsoft account that he uses for his Xbox One gamertag from a child account to an adult account, pretending he’s an adult.

    However, the missing “Allow Cross Platform Parties” setting does still not appear in Fortnite.

    Please help!

    Hello Zalmoxis

    In this situation you would go to Settings>Account>privacy&online safety>xbox live privacy>select adult default. If your sons account is a child account the parent account would log in go to Settings>family>select
    sons gamertag and follow same as above.


    Thanks

  7. Hi.

    Thank you for your reply. After these tries I did not have a chance to see as I worked and I did not have time but today was a miracle; my sone managed to play Fortnite on his account. I do not know how happened but by fiddling around I managed to make it
    work.

    Thank you again.
