None of the EA Play games work for my son (8yo) using Game Pass for PC
None of the EA Play games work for my son (8yo) using Game Pass for PC.
I just subscribed PC Game Pass for my 8yo son. He is logged in with his own xbox account to game pass app running on his PC. He is able to play all the other games but we have problem with EA titles: none of them work.
1. We have created child account for him by following instructions as part of xbox gamepass "Install" process. Myself as an adult has confirmed this account.
2. This account is connected with his xbox / gamepass account.
3. EA app is installed on his PC.
4. When trying to install any EA title from xbox gamepass app on PC, the EA app will open with 404 page.
5. When trying to use EA app on his PC, there is nothing to install. Just input box for entering some codes (which we don't have).
My question: is there a way for 8yo to play any of the EA titles via xbox gamepass for PC subscription?
Hey @AMajic,
Sorry for any confusion here. There are a number of legal restrictions on child accounts that affect online features and membership. Child accounts cannot be used for EA Play I'm afraid.
Please feel free to check out the link here for more details on the below info, thanks!
Child accounts can't:
- access online modes on PC or Mac in certain games
- make purchases - children can’t be EA Play members or use EA Gift cards
- log in to our websites
- Child accounts can still use EA Help to create a case if they have an email address (a parent has the option to use the email address they used to validate a child account).
- use companion web apps for games, or use mobile companion apps that need players to log in with an EA Account
- connect their games to social media or link their accounts to Steam.
