While Sony’s built-in parental controls will allow you to limit your child's screen time and how much they're able to spend on in-game purchases, the real cyber threats can be warded off with the help of a VPN. Protecting your child's PlayStation is important to ensure their privacy and prevent them from accessing content inappropriate for their age, including M-rated games (meant for 17 or 18+ audiences only) such as Grand Theft Auto V. With kids beginning to game from an increasingly young age, parents need to be mindful of their safety. Gaming’s growing appeal and technological advancements have made it more accessible than ever.
