Hi @EA_Kent,
I checked my EA account and I have a user profile under my name on the Xbox under my Xbox GamerTag. The Xbox Gold account is under me for that Xbox.
His Xbox GamerTag account is not connected to my EA Account. But thinking about it, I am not sure. I tried to create a new EA account under his Xbox gamertag, but found out that gamertag is
in use. Well, low and behold it appears his Xbox gamer tag is associated with my account. When I tried to login with that game tag, I used the forgot password feature and I got the email for password reset under my EA account email address. But I see nothing in the EA account settings to indicate that.
So let break this down:
Xbox Setup
Adult Xbox GamerTag (me) linked to Child Xbox GamerTag (my son) under Family Settings.
EA Account
Adult EA Account linked to Adult Xbox GamerTag (me)
It appears that the Child Xbox GamerTag is linked to the Adult EA Account by association of the Xbox setup?
I tried to de-link the Adult EA Account linked to Adult Xbox GamerTag (me), but I could still play with the Child Xbox GamerTag without the need to re-connect to EA Account.
If I try to play Apex on the Xbox with Adult Xbox GamerTag (me), then I get the warning on login to connect to the EA account.
CrossPlay Settings in Xbox
In the game settings, Crossplay setting is greyed out, meaning you can't enable or disable it. The setting is enabled, but you can't undo it.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Maschi!
I see, thanks for the details!
If the accounts are connected to the same EA Account, I'm afraid it would not be possible to send an invite between them. The system would not allow an invite to be sent between two accounts that are connected to the same EA Account, I'm afraid.

Thanks Kent. I figured out my son has an underage EA account linked to my parent EA account.
Do you know if Apex will allow for invite under the same EA account in the future?
I know Apex Crossplay is technically still a beta, so maybe they can add in this functionality.
