  1. Why cant I play multiplayer games?


    When I try to play multiplayer games, the game tells me "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft Account Settings". All of my Microsoft settings are set to allow, so I should be able to play multiplayer games. So, why can't I play multiplayer on different games???

    :)

    Why cant I play multiplayer games?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are want to access multiplayer however it isn't working.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    With the error you are getting it means that the system has detected that you own a child account.

    Because when it was created a child account was saved on its birthdate.

    Even if there will be changes on the birthdate the system will still recognize the first birthdate that's on the account.

    Nothing to worry because there is a way for the account to act like an adult.

    That is by adding an adult account/ the organizer account

    The adult account/ the organizer account will be used in customizing your privacy and security settings to enable you to access multiplayer.

    I will guide you the complete steps on how to do it in order for you to be guided.

    Do you have a parent/adult account ready now?

    Please give an update. Thank you very much.
