Sony has launched the PlayStation Family app, a new mobile tool designed to help parents manage their children’s gaming activities easily. The app, available on iOS and Android, allows parents to oversee gaming habits without needing to use the console directly.
The PlayStation Family app reflects Sony’s commitment to creating a safe and balanced gaming environment for players of all ages. While PlayStation consoles already include family settings, this app brings added convenience by putting parental controls directly in the hands of caregivers.
Parents can now track daily playtime and see exactly which games their children are playing. They can set daily or weekly limits to ensure balanced use, and receive instant notifications when children request additional playtime.
The app also includes tools for managing spending. Parents can top up wallets, set purchase limits, and review balances before money is spent. This helps prevent unwanted charges and encourages responsible spending habits.
Content filters in the Family app are flexible and age-appropriate. Presets adjust restrictions automatically, while custom settings allow families to tailor controls to their needs. The app also enables parents to manage online interactions, including limiting chat and multiplayer access where necessary.
Daily and weekly activity reports give parents a clear overview of gaming patterns, helping them discuss healthy gaming habits and maintain balance.
The PlayStation Family app is now available in multiple regions, including India, via the App Store and Google Play. Sony’s new initiative underlines its vision of responsible digital play, ensuring that gaming remains enjoyable while maintaining safety and limits for children.
