PlayStation 5 Parental Controls Introduction Video

As you know we like to keep you up to date with the best advice for setting up your video game consoles. While updating our PlayStation setting up guide we discovered a really useful video that works through the different parental controls on the new system.

"Parental Controls on PS5 consoles can help parents manage their children's PlayStation experience. Creating accounts for your children allows you to customize their privacy settings, spending limits, playtime schedules, and access to games based on their ratings."

As you can see this works through the following areas of setting up your system:

  • Setting Up Child Accounts
  • Privacy Features
  • Age Restrictions for PS5 and PS4 Games
  • Allowing Exceptions
  • Online Communication Settings
  • Spending Limits and Pocket Money
