PS4 System Restrictions

Restrict use of features on your PS4™ system. Select (Settings) > [Parental Controls/Family Management] > [PS4 System Restrictions].

  • These settings apply to all users on your PS4™ system.
  • To prevent others from changing the settings, change the system restriction passcode.

New User Creation and Guest Login

Allow only existing users to log in to your PS4™ system. Use this setting to prevent your children from creating and logging in as unrestricted users without permission.

Web Filter

Make use of a web filtering service that verifies the type and safety of sites when the Internet Browser is being used, and automatically prevents dangerous or harmful sites from being displayed.

Default Parental Controls

Change the default parental control settings. These settings apply to new users or guests who use the system without signing in to PlayStation™Network.

You can set parental controls for individual users. For details, see “About restrictions”.

Temporarily Disable PS4 System Restrictions

Select the checkbox to temporarily disable all parental control restrictions for all users, without having to sign in to PlayStation™Network. The restrictions are restored when you clear the checkbox, turn off your system, or put your system in rest mode.

Change System Restriction Passcode

Change the system restriction passcode.

If you forget your system restriction passcode, you must initialise the PS4™ system. Be careful with your passcode. Don't forget it, and make sure others don’t obtain it.
