Recently, Sony unveiled a new application designed to help parents oversee and manage their children’s gaming habits on both PS4 and PS5: the PlayStation Family app.
Available for free on iOS and Android, this app builds on existing parental controls accessible through the console. It allows users to remotely review and manage settings and play activity at any time. It aligns Sony with other leading gaming brands, such as Microsoft and Nintendo, which have also rolled out similar parental control applications.
Here’s a look at the app features according to Sony:
- Guided Setup: A step-by-step process to establish a child account for use on PlayStation consoles.
- Real-time Alerts: Notifications when your child is engaged in gameplay, including details on the specific game. You can approve or deny requests for extra playtime or access to restricted games and chat functionalities via a mobile device.
- Activity Reports: Daily and weekly summaries of the games played by your children and the duration of their gaming sessions.
- Playtime Management: Set daily limits on gaming hours. Kids can request additional playtime, which you can approve through the app.
- Spending Management: Top up your children’s accounts, check their balances, and set a monthly spending cap for purchases on the PlayStation Store.
- Content Filters: Control the types of games and content your children can access. Sony offers preset options for different age groups, which you can customize to suit your preferences.
- Privacy Settings: Determine how your child can engage with others online.
