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.
