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 use an existing account, such as one you created on a PS4™
console, for your PS5 console. Your family and parental control settings
will carry over to your PS5 console.
Create an account for a child
You can create a child account and set parental controls at
the same time.
Press the (PS) button to open the control center. Select

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.
