I have set up our PS4 (present for my son) with me as Family Manager and him as a Family Member. I have downloaded Fortnite which can be played by me when logged in (with PIN). However when he logs in, there is a padlock on the icon. I've tried uninstalling it and downloading it under his name but it won't allow it. I want him to play it as I have set up time limits and constraints on his account.

It's not an age restriction issue as I have opened that right up.

Any thoughts?

I'm the same, we have no restrictions, however I have a pin on my account to stop them trashing my games.

Ours works fine, crap and boring game mind you, but he likes it.

Is anything blocked?? Does he have a pin on his??

Nothing blocked as far as I'm aware. No PIN for him. When you select it, it says to go to the Store but then says it can't be downloaded at this time! Everytime!

Is it because Fortnite relies on micro transactions so you must have your own PSN account to play? As your son doesn't have his own PSN account he cant access the game?
