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 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.
