    This game is rated above your Restrictions? (Windows 11)


    I am 45 and my birthdate has been saved the same for years. All of a sudden I am being denied from installing a game on Game Pass because of this restriction. I did some searching and have tried adjusting my birthdate and logging out and relogging in, but I am still blocked. I downloaded the Family app but not progress there either. What can I do to play FBC Firebreak?

    :)

    Hi Peter, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor, and I am here to help you.

    Kindly try to sign in to this link https://account.microsoft.com/family/home and check if there is a Family Organizer linked to your Account. Otherwise, kindly proceed to sign out of your account on your Xbox App, then quit the app and ensure that the Xbox App is not running on your Task Manager.

    Once done, please sign in to your account and then check if the issue persists. If you are still encountering the same issue, kindly proceed to Repair and Reset the Xbox App.

    Please follow the steps below:

    1. Open Settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app

    2. Go to Apps: Click on "Apps," then find the Xbox app.

    3. Open Advanced options: Click on "Advanced options".

    4. Click Repair

    After that, check if you will encounter the same issue. If yes, please proceed with the "Reset" option.

    rated above restrictions

    Hi there! Let’s do our best here to sort this out.

    To confirm, are you trying to download it from a Windows 10 or Windows 11 machine?

    Let’s check if you’re using an adult account or a child account by checking your account privacy settings via https://account.xbox.com/Settings. If you could access your privacy settings, that would mean that you’re using an adult account. But if you were redirected to a different page, you’re using a child account where you need to be added to a family group because only an organizer or adult account can change a child’s privacy settings.
