As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Sony Interactive Entertainment has rolled out a new companion app for parents like me – the PlayStation Family. This awesome tool is now live on both Apple’s App Store and Google Play!
Here is an overview of the app, via its store pages:
Download PlayStation Family from Google Play or the App Store to keep track of your child’s gaming at-a-glance. With an easy-to-use activity report, simple parental controls, and real-time info direct to your phone, the PlayStation Family app takes the hassle out of parenting on PlayStation.
- Easy Setup – Create an account for your child with age-based parental control recommendations. Decide which games they can access, ensuring they experience only age-appropriate content.
- Customizable Playtime – Define when PlayStation fits into your family’s routine. Whether it’s time for homework, mealtime or bedtime, you’re in control of your child’s daily playtime.
- Activity Report – Get insights into your child’s gaming activity. See their online status and the game they’re currently playing plus their playtime hours from the past week. Stay engaged and make informed decisions to foster healthy play.
- Real-Time Notifications – When your child requests extra playtime, you can approve or decline directly from your phone. You have the final say – anytime, anywhere.
- Social Interactions – Customize privacy settings for how your child connects and play. Manage access to social features.
- Spending – Decide how much your child can spend each month, view your own wallet balance, and top it up so they can buy content from PlayStation Store.
