PlayStation Family App Gives Parents Control Over What Their Kids Play And Buy

Sony has announced a new PlayStation app, the PlayStation Family App, and it aims to help parents manage and monitor how their children play games on PlayStation.

The PlayStation Family App, which is free and is rolling out worldwide today on iOS and Android, connects to a PlayStation device in the house and parents can set up real-time notifications for when someone logs in. Parents can set time limits and then approve or deny extensions. The app also lets parents restrict which games their children can play.

Additionally, the app includes activity reports that track daily and weekly play sessions, and it also gives parents the ability to set spending limits from the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation Family App also allows parents to customize privacy settings and decide if their child can use social features or not.
