Changing date of birth on a family member account

80 Posts

My son is not quite 18 but would like to start using a PS 4 camera to make recordings for YouTube. However, the camera setup only appears to be available for an adult account. I am family manager, he is a family member at present. Website states you can't amend DOB which seems a bit daft to me. Short of him having to be set up as a brand new, adult family member, is there anything else I can do? If we set up a new account he'll lose everything he's been doing for the last few years - not going to go down well!

The reason that is in place is to prevent you doing what you want to do which is allowing a minor access to age related features.
If he is not quite 18 that suggests he is 18 soon - he can wait
As this isn't possible, is there anything else I can do, like create a new user and transfer his game progress to this new profile?
He is nearly 18 - he can wait, it won’t hurt him one bit
. I'll keep looking into it elsewhere.
You say he is not quite 18 - I read that as 1-2 months off but I suspect he might be 1-2 years off if he absolutely can’t wait and it’s that important to him.
Your only option is to start another account and lose everything.
