When you create an account for your child, they’re automatically added to your family, making you the family manager.
Make sure to adjust the privacy settings of younger players before using PlayStation™Network (PSN). You can also choose which settings you allow younger players to change themselves.
Speak with your child about how they interact with other players online. As the Family Manager, you can control how and when younger players interact with others over PSN.
Younger family members can also request that the Family Manager make an exception for a specific game. For more information, visit the guide below.
Use age ratings and playtime settings to tailor younger players' gaming experiences, including use of PS VR2.
Family managers can set a spending limit for child accounts, and add funds to a wallet for young players to use for purchases. To set a monthly spending limit for your child’s purchases, including PS VR2 games, visit the guide below.
When using PS VR2, it’s important for younger players to understand how they should interact with others online.
Blocking and reporting other players on PSN are useful for preventing or addressing unwanted interactions and keeping your playing experience fun and enjoyable.
General safety and comfort with PS VR2
Before using your PS VR2, read the health and safety warnings in the VR headset manual to familiarise yourself with all instructions for setup and use. Always follow on-screen instructions and safety precautions while enjoying your VR experience.
Take regular breaks and manage your comfort while playing to ensure you’re avoiding strain and reducing the risk of injury.
Some VR games may require moving around and using a specific Play Area style. Make sure your Play Area is safe and appropriate for maximising your VR experience.
Configuring eye tracking (that uses eye movement) for each PS VR2 player can also help enhance the VR experience.
Visit the guide below for steps on adjusting your VR headset settings, so you can comfortably enjoy your gaming experience.
