Sony Releases PlayStation Family App for iOS and Android

The mobile companion moves PlayStation’s parental controls off the console to give parents faster, phone-based oversight.

Overview

  • The app is available now globally on the App Store and Google Play.
  • Activity reports show a child’s online status, the game being played, and total hours from the past week.
  • Parents receive real-time requests for extra playtime and can approve or decline directly on their phone.
  • Guided setup provides age-based recommendations and allows customizable playtime schedules.
  • Controls include social and privacy settings plus monthly spending limits with wallet viewing and top-ups, with support for multiple PlayStation accounts.
