    Hi,
    I have checked out Fortnite Battle Royale for my 8 year old son and I am happy for him to play it, a lot of his friends of the same age have it.

    The problem is it is not available in his PS Store for download. I have changed all age levels for games but that did not make the game appear.

    Can i make him another account using the same email address but with a false dob?

    Is there a way for him to get this game? Thanks.

    The way I have it on my PS4 is I have my account and then my kids accounts also, any game my account downloads the rest can play. My ten year old plays it but I don’t let him chat and only allow maybe two hours of it all weekend.

    When I check the playstore with my account it says Fortnite Battle Royale. Anyway I'll try the suggestion above, fingers crossed!! Tks.

    So I downloaded with my account and removed any age restrictions on the child's account. The game shows up when he is signed in but will not allow him to play; "This account for PlayStation Network does not meet the minimum age required. Please try again with a different account."
    When asked if i wanted to create a Epic account i said no and now i cannot find where to make one, even though I'm unsure if this will help any.
    Any ideas?

    My 8 year old downloaded it himself I think I created an epic account before online.

    One thing I recommend is go into the options and mute chat as that way not exposed to others.

    and is your 8 year old playing under his own account with his own email address, user name and real dob?
    is the epic account linked to his account or yours?
