For your child to be able to use the Online Functionality of some of our titles, like Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, your child needs to have a Frontier account which is linked to a Xbox or PlayStation account, after having your permission.
First off, how does this look in-game?
When your child first tries to access the Workshop, they will be greeted with the following prompt screen:
You can then follow this link, or use the QR code provided, to get a direct link to our website, and begin the Frontier account creation process. We recommend being with your child during this entire process, and be ready to look at your emails.
To create this, you will need to visit our Store website, found here:
https://www.frontierstore.net/
Or you can proceed from where you were directed.
From there, select the "Login" button in the top right. You will see the following:
From here, select "Register", underneath "New Customers".
You will then see the following page:
Please fill in all information accurately. Your Child's account will only be flagged if they input an appropriate date of birth, so it is important in this process for it to be accurate.
When inputting your email address (As the guardian), please use an email address that you can look at straight away.
Once the form is complete, hit submit. At that point, the guardian's email address should have an email from us, asking for "Account Approval". Simply press "Approve". You do not need to make an account with us if you do not wish to, simply pressing "Approve" is enough.
Once that is done, you have created your child's Frontier account. The next step is to link it.
First, log into your child's account on our User Portal, here:
https://user.frontierstore.net/
Next, we visit the account Dashboard:
In this part here:
We see a list of platforms a Frontier account can link to. For now, choose your console Platform of choice. When linking with Xbox/Microsoft, you should see this:
And when linking with Sony/PlayStation, you should see this:
Sign into your PlayStation account, or Microsoft account, follow the linking process there, which should simply be a confirmation.
Then your child's account is linked, and you are both ready to explore the Planet Zoo workshop!
