Can You Change Your PlayStation Age?
In this article, we will explore the process of changing your PlayStation age and provide answers to common questions related to PlayStation age restrictions.
Changing Your PlayStation Age
Can you change your PlayStation age? The answer is yes, but it depends on the type of account you have and the restrictions applied to it. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you change your PlayStation age:
Child Accounts
If you have a child account, it is not possible to remove a child member from the family. However, the child can upgrade to an adult account and leave the family. This is a one-way transition, and once the child upgrades to an adult account, they cannot go back to being a child member.
Default Parental Controls
Default Parental Controls can be bypassed by entering the system restriction passcode. To do this:
- Go to [Settings] > [Parental Controls/Family Management] > [Family Management]
- Select "Age level for games" and choose a restriction level
Online IDs
Online IDs can’t be changed for child accounts. Child accounts are eligible to upgrade to an adult account and leave the family, but the online ID remains the same.

| Adult Account | Age level for games can be set |
| Online IDs | Can’t be changed for child accounts |
Why Can’t I Access Age-Restricted Content?
Sometimes content doesn’t violate YouTube’s policies, but it may not be appropriate for viewers under 18. Age-restricted content will have an age-restriction applied, so that only users who are signed in to an account with a birthday over 18+ years ago can view the content.
Why Does My Video Say Age Restricted?
Age-restricted content is applied when the content is not appropriate for viewers under 18, even if it doesn’t violate YouTube’s policies.

Conclusion
Changing your PlayStation age can be a bit tricky, but it is possible under certain circumstances. Child accounts can upgrade to adult accounts, and adult accounts have more flexibility with age restrictions. However, online IDs remain the same for child accounts. Age-restricted content is applied when the content is not appropriate for viewers under 18, even if it doesn’t violate YouTube’s policies. Understanding the reasons behind age restrictions can help you navigate these limitations and enjoy your gaming experience on PlayStation.
