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,
whether or not they can chat, 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.

You can create a child account and set parental controls simultaneously. Press the (PS) button to open the control centre. Select your profile picture, then select Switch User. From the user selection screen, select Add User to create an account. Review and change your parental control settings. We recommend that you check the child’s parental controls regularly. You can review or update them by selecting Settings > Family and Parental Controls from the home screen.

Game rating icons
Each game comes with a game rating icon that helps you determine whether it’s age-appropriate for the child.
