Parental controls/fortnite

Are you under parental control restrictions?

Have you redeemed your Gift Card on the store before trying to buy Fortnite's Currency?

I would use his own log on, that way he would have all his things and you could apply Fortnite parental controls.

Thanks for your help - annoying that they don’t make this fully clear to unwitting parents buying kids xboxes.

Will he also lose in-game purchases? like on fortnite etc…

Is there no way to convert the existing account into a child's account or otherwise apply parental controls to it?

Cheers!

Hi Jessica,

Are you controlling your sons account through the family safety features of your Microsoft account or just through the options on the Xbox itself? I ask because I control friend requests through the family safety app on my phone and wasnt asked to set up a pin for my son.

Personally I would set up the family safety app if only because of the level of control it gives you over screen time, spending, and other content your kids are consuming.

You could try removing the pin lock on your sons account and then reapplying the lock via the family safety app. Its off by default as far as I am aware so you should see friend requests or lists of friends your son already has.

Let me know how you get on. Im happy to help.
