Sony has introduced a new tool for parents to monitor and manage gaming on PS4 and PS5 consoles. The PlayStation Family app gives full control directly from smartphones, making it easier to balance children’s gaming habits with daily routines.
Parents can set daily or weekly playtime limits and adjust them remotely through their phones. If children request extra time, instant notifications allow parents to approve or deny with a single tap.
When a child tries to play longer than allowed or start an age-inappropriate game, the app immediately alerts the parent’s phone. This quick response system reinforces safe and supervised play.
The app generates daily and weekly reports showing total playtime and the specific games played. This transparency helps parents balance gaming with school, sports, and family activities.
Yes, the app enables parents to set spending limits, add funds directly, or manually approve purchases. A step-by-step guide simplifies setting up parental controls for the first time.
Following similar parental control apps from Microsoft and Nintendo, PlayStation Family aligns with modern family needs. Available on both iOS and Android, it offers parents across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf more confidence in creating a safe, balanced gaming environment.
