On Wednesday, Sony announced a new way for parents to monitor and control their kids' gaming habits on both PS5 and PS4: the new PlayStation Family app.
Here's what Sony says you can do with the app:
Real-time alerts: This feature tells you when you child is playing a game, as well as what game they happen to be playing. From here, you can approve or deny requests for additional playtime, to play restricted games, or to chat over a mobile device.
Playtime management: You can set limits on the amount of time kids can play each day of the week. Kids can request more playtime, and you can approve those requests from the app.
Content filters: You can choose what types of content your kids can experience. Sony has presets that can apply blanket settings for various age groups, but you can customize these settings to your own preferences.
Privacy settings: Choose how your kid can interact with others online.
As someone without kids, this seems useful, and is very reminiscent of something like Apple's Screen Time feature. I think it's a huge plus to have the ability to not only set parental controls, but review your kid's PlayStation activity in tandem. It also gives kids some extra agency to make requests directly through the console: Both Screen Time and PlayStation Family let kids request more playtime and ask permission for purchases. As a parent, I imagine it's convenient to see those requests as notifications, and to approve or decline them as needed.
