Sony rolls out new ‘PlayStation Family’ parental controls app

Sony has launched a new "PlayStation Family" parental controls app, consolidating all its parental control tools into a single platform. The app allows parents to monitor and manage their children's gaming activities across different PlayStation devices, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR. The app provides parents with a comprehensive overview of their children's gaming habits, including the games they play, the time spent gaming, and any in-game purchases made. Parents can also set time limits, age restrictions, and content filters to ensure their children have a safe and age-appropriate gaming experience. Additionally, the app allows parents to manage their children's online interactions, such as who they can communicate with and what type of content they can access. This feature is particularly important for ensuring a secure and positive gaming environment for young users. The launch of the PlayStation Family app is part of Sony's ongoing efforts to address parental concerns and provide families with the necessary tools to manage their children's digital activities effectively.
