Xbox one cross platform play on Fortnite

Hi,

my son plays fortnite on xbox one. He can play the game with friends who are also on xbox but he cant play with friends who are playing on PC. His xbox friends can play with friends on PC. When he logs onto a pc he can play a game with users who are on PC
but when on xbox he cant. Why cant he play cross platform? Is there a setting that needs to be changed? Thanks

:)

 

How can my son play Fortnite across mulriple platforms?

Fortnite is not available on xbox 360. You can cross platform between xbox one pc and mobile devices. maybe even switch. but you cannot cross platform with PS4

 

Fortnite Cross platform

When I go to play Fortnite cross platform on Xbox it brings up an error message that I cannot join the cross platform party. When I go into settings in Fortnite to change the option to allow cross platform parties, it does not appear. I am able to play
cross platform parties when on a computer. From what I have seen on the internet, the Xbox account has to be an adult account, but I cannot figure out how to promote a child account to an adult account.

 

Hi! What does the error message say? Did you check your privacy settings?

 

This has been an issue for months. No child account has access to cross platform play for Fortnite, regardless of what settings you modify. This has gone through many tests and iterations, and no solution has been found. Sadly, the thread that best
explained this situation was just closed bowski477, without an explanation.

 

Hello fellow gamers,

We are aware of the issue. It was put in intentionally due to Microsoft wanting the parent account to be allowed to manage the option for cross play or not. Unfortunately, it taking longer than expected to add it to the settings for parents to manage. We
expect an update on this situation soon.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks Brad,

Finally giving an answer to this issue that has been taking far to long to resolve.

I am a parent and I understand wanting to control there usage, however I don't understand this restriction.

I do hope this is resolved very soon

Thanks

Because of this issue with cross platform playing on Fortnite in a child’s account, is there a workaround?

Can we use the adult account and sign into Fortnite using the childs details so we can play with the saved game play up to now? That way we can play cross platform on adult’s account?

Thanks in advance

 

Hello there,

We are aware of the issue. It was put in intentionally due to Microsoft wanting the parent account to be allowed to
manage the option for cross play or not. Our engineers are currently working on making the change to the parental settings, but it is taking them some time to work out the kinks.
We expect an update on this situation soon.

Hope this helps.
