    Why does the Xbox app think I'm a child?

    Hello, I was born in 1998 and my account even says that I am yet my account is considered a child account and I can't play certain games off of game pass.
    Was the account created as a child account linked to an adult account?

    If so, have the adult log in and update the setting for your account (I had this issue a few years back)

    XBOX Gamepass thinks I'm a child

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Lapisurinal, this is really strange, as this forum is public viewing and unfortunately as independent consultants we do not have access there is some data and neither your account, the ideal would be to contact Xbox support via chat to check what can happen to your account.
