    strange bug- cant purchase unrated games


    Only way I can purchase anything with an age rating now is through the web store now. On both the Xbox one and the windows 10 marketplace I am told "To buy this, an adult needs to change your family settings at account.microsoft.com/family"

    Bit of a problem as I am the adult! Plus I no longer have any family settings on my Microsoft account as I removed them all when this started. I am also unable to watch any unrated content on Amazon video so a lot of the TV shows on there are displaying
    with a padlock on my Xbox one and cant be watched.

    Please sort this out.

  2. Hey, guys! Anything from within the apps themselves needs to be directed towards the developer. We are unable to control what content you are able to see in those apps, and the Xbox Live settings should not be affecting that. However, if you have a child
    account *signed in* to the console while attempting to look at that content, it might be causing the block. Make sure only an adult account (that is, an account that has a birthday set to the legal adult age or over for the Xbox Live account, NOT the security
    settings) is signed in, and try again.

    For the purchasing issue, you guys should be able to use the Xbox App for those purchases on both iOS devices and Android devices. We are still working on resolving this so that it no longer causes an issue on the Xbox One and the website, however I have
    no further information for you on that front. Once I do get more information, I will be sure to post back in here for you. strange bug- cant purchase unrated games :) Thanks again to everyone for their continued patience while we work on resolving this!

  9. Yes, they have. Apologies! With the platform switch, we lost some posts, but we're working on recovering those.

    This has not been resolved, but we are still looking into it. With my posts no longer in here, I wanted to make sure everyone knew that we were still looking into this, even though it appears that we're not. Thanks for everyone's patience while we try to
    figure out what's going on. strange bug- cant purchase unrated games :)

    It is truly incredible... I am an xboxlive customer since 10 years. I am 37 years old now. This means that i never had a child account. Adult from the very beginning.

    now i wanted to watch a movie (hardcore henry) and it says i need an adult. The exact same problem mentioned before.

    i am extremely frustrated... I have spend severeal thousand francs on xboxlive and never had an issue. No i want to watch my first movie on my xboxone and its not working... Pretty bad advertising. I am really mad that a bug like this even exists in the
    first place.

    am i supposed to buy a dammed apple tv just to watch the movies i want?

    bring a fix for this ridiculous bug. Asap.

    thank you

    Still have this issue, four months on... What a way to treat your customers, Microsoft - simply ignore them all together.

    strange bug- cant purchase unrated games

    This is weird, after reading through the posts above I thought I would try some different devices. It failed on the XB1, my Windows 10 laptop and my iPhone but it worked on my Android phone! No idea what is going on, clearly it's a store issue though. Come
    on MS, sort it out!

    strange bug- cant purchase unrated games

    Still no luck for me on purchasing BF1 Premium Pass.

    @Misses_Quinzel

    I've tried via web, via mobile app and via Windows 10 Xbox app.

    Web give me the error in this thread.

    Mobile App - No purchase button appears

    Win10 App - No purchase button appears

    The only route I have not yet attempted is via the console itself as my console is in for repairs.

    strange bug- cant purchase unrated games

    I'm having this exact same issue. I was in chat for 2 hours to no avail. Then they escalated the case to no avail. Now they've stopped emailing me.

    Forza Horizon 3 was the first to do this. Dead Rising 4 is now doing it. My friends do not have this issue, so it must have something to do with individual accounts. All my privacy settings are set-up correctly, I do not have any family/child accounts, and
    all my information (birthday, etc.) is correct. This is a store GLITCH!

    I'm literally throwing money at the screen and you guys aren't accepting it! Is this how Microsoft does business?
