FULL STORY

Sony has launched the PlayStation Family App, a new mobile app that allows parents to monitor their children's PS4 and PS5 usage.

Now available for iOS and Android devices, the parental control mobile app includes the current parental control features available on the PS5 and PS4, like playtime settings and age restriction settings for games.

It will also help parents manage their childrens playtime by offering them an activity report, allowing them to see what games their children are playing, and approve extra playtime requests.

"Were excited to bring an easy way for parents to manage their childrens
gaming directly from their mobile devices," said SIEs VP of product
management, Cory Gasaway, in a PlayStation Blog post.

"This is just the beginning with our new mobile app well plan to continue adding enhancements to PlayStation Family app to evolve the experience over time. We hope youll enjoy it, and we look forward to your feedback."

The app will also feature real-time notifications that alert parents when
their child is playing, restrict certain games, and customize privacy
settings.

Playtime limits for each day of the week can also be managed from the app, as well as spending activity by adding funds, viewing balances, and setting a monthly spending limit for a child to buy content from the PlayStation Store.
