Sony Interactive Entertainment and Save the Children recently partnered to enhance online safety tools and educational programs for young gamers worldwide. This collaboration of resources enhances parental controls, in-game safety tools, and awareness campaigns, aiming to keep children safe from online risks while fostering positive digital experiences.
Sony has long supported online safety, but this partnership, announced Tuesday by Catherine Jensen, Vice President of Sony Global Consumer Experience, marks a deeper engagement with child protection frameworks. Sony's PlayStation parental controls now allow parents to set playtime limits, restrict games by age rating, disable chat, limit spending, and require password authentication for purchases. These settings can be managed via console, PC, or mobile app, and changes trigger real-time notifications to the family manager.
