How to Change Your Age on Xbox Live

This wikiHow teaches you how to change your birthday registered on Xbox LIVE. We can only do this if the Xbox LIVE account is linked to a Microsoft account; If you signed up for Xbox LIVE with a different account type, you won’t be able to change your age. If your current account is under 18, you’ll need to create a new Xbox LIVE account with a different date of birth if you want to play M-rated games or rent certain movies/media.
