Parental controls
You can manage settings for children who use your PS5
console. Parental controls let you set restrictions on the
games children can play, when and how long they play,
who they communicate with, and more.
Each adult ( ) and child ( ) will need their own separate
accounts. When you create an account for a child, it’s
automatically linked to your account, creating a family. You
can set parental controls only for children in your family.
You can use an existing account, such as one you created on a PS4
console, for your PS5 console. Your family and parental control settings
will carry over to your PS5 console.
