«The PlayStation Family app is a new experience that will help parents customize and manage their children’s PlayStation gaming experience directly from supported mobile devices», — the company said.
The app includes a number of new features that help parents manage their children’s playtime, including a game activity report, more information about what their children are playing, and approval of requests for additional playtime.
Key features of the PlayStation Family app:
- Guided sign-up — makes it easy to create a child account.

- Activity reports — daily and weekly reports on your child’s gaming activity.
- Playtime management — set limits on playtime for each day of the week. Kids can request additional playtime from the console, and parents can approve or deny their requests from their phone or tablet.
- Spending Management — the ability to add funds, view balances and set a monthly spending limit for your child to purchase content on PlayStation Store.
- Content filters — access to content by age. By default, settings are set that automatically apply recommended settings for different age groups.
- Social interactions — setting privacy settings and children’s communication in chats.
