Changing Your Age on Xbox / Microsoft Account

You cannot directly change your birthdate on an Xbox profile. It is locked to the Microsoft Account (MSA) date of birth.

If You Entered It Wrong

1. Sign in at account.microsoft.com.
2. Your info → Edit date of birth.
3. Adult Account: You can change it freely (verify with password/2FA).
4. Child Account (<18): Requires parent/organizer approval via Family Safety. Parent must sign in and consent.
5. Region Restrictions: Some regions (Korea, China) require government ID verification for age changes.

Consequences of Changing

• Content restrictions update immediately (games, apps, movies, social features).
• Xbox Live Gold / Game Pass family sharing may be affected.
• Cannot change to bypass COPPA/GDPR child protections without valid proof.

Do not create a new account to fake age; ban evasion violates Terms of Service.
