Some PS4™ content may not be suitable for your child. Most PS4™ content is rated
by an independent ratings body.
To ensure your child only has access to suitably rated content, just set the correct
parental control before you first let your child play. You can set the parental
controls in (Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict Use
of PS4 Features] > [Application]. Use the tables below for guidance on how the
Parental Control Setting relates to different age groups.
You can restrict access to Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD video content, and to the Internet
Browser, from
(Settings) in the function screen > [Parental Controls] > [Restrict
Use of PS4 Features]. Restricting access to the Internet Browser will not prevent
launch of some applications that use the Internet.
Regardless of the Parental Control Settings, you should monitor your child’s activity
on the PS4™ system. You can override the Parental Control Settings at any time to
allow an older child or adult to play.
