Sony has introduced the PlayStation Family app, now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for iOS and Android devices. The app is designed to help parents manage their children’s gaming activities on PlayStation consoles, providing real-time monitoring, spending controls, and customizable content filters.
Key Features of the PlayStation Family App
The PlayStation Family app works with existing PlayStation accounts and consoles, offering parents enhanced control and visibility. Key features include:
- Daily Gaming Limits: Set time restrictions and approve or deny extra game time requests.
- Activity Reports: View daily and weekly summaries of gaming habits, including which games were played most.
- Content Filtering: Block age-inappropriate games and control access to certain PlayStation social features.
- Spending Management: Set monthly spending limits to prevent unauthorized purchases.
- Easy Onboarding: Quickly create or link a child’s PlayStation account for seamless setup.
This app allows parents to manage restrictions conveniently from a mobile device rather than navigating the PlayStation 4 or 5 consoles directly.
