Description
Description[]
When a player indicated that they are under 13 years old or their country's age of digital consent, their account becomes a Cabined Account and they will be asked to provide a parent or guardian’s email address in order to receive consent to access certain features in Epic’s products. While waiting for parental consent, players will still be able to play Fortnite, Rocket League, or Fall Guys with full access to previously purchased or earned content in-game, but will not have access to certain features until the player provides parental consent.
Players with a Cabined Account will have a randomly generated display name, in a format that is nearly similar to Bots. A Cabined Account display name will have two words followed by a four digit number.
