It will not let me change my age from 14 to 17 when I clicked the wrong button. Now it won’t let me play resident evil.

I want to change my son’s birthdate so he can play resident evil. When I try it says to contact customer support which of course I can’t find any j do to do that. He doesn’t have a Facebook account so I don’t need any suggestions about changing something there. How can I change it in his Meta account?

Hi there MetaQuestSupport, I see you are offering the same advice for everyone here but that doesn’t work.  I have the same issue, I am my child’s parent and I do authorize and am fine with him playing 17+ y.o. games but it’s not allowing when I attempt to simply change the birthdate.  I set up through my gmail account but as his real birthdate (2010) which makes him a “minor”…how can we circumnavigate and fix this issue.  I even gifted him a game myself and approved it being 17+ and still won’t work.  

Hi @thebomb.com.2023! May I ask what country you're in? I know some regions have laws in place that state minors aren't allowed to use games rated above their age range, even with parental permission. If you're in one of those regions (a great example is Australia), your son might not be able to play until they're no longer a minor.

 

All that being said, I do think that you can reach out to @MetaQuestSupport via PM for more details and information! They'll be able to look into your options and help with any other troubleshooting 🙂

I am trying to change my age so I can ply blade and sorcery, but it says “You aren't able to edit your birthday based on the information you provided”. What does this mean? Thankyou - Levi
