In the Parental Controls application ([[NPXS10094|NPXS10094]]), parents or guardians can manage the duration their child can play and the features their child can use.
It is a scale to rate the content for the different users based in user profile settings and international rating systems as: PEGI, ESRB, CERO, etc...
Age rating is not a guide to gaming difficulty.

==== Fun Fact ====
*CERO: One month after the initial release of [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/User:Ada_L0ve_Lace Atelier Meruru]: The Apprentice of Arland, shipments of it were halted due to it having been mis-rated.
It was re-released a few days later with a '''B''' rating from CERO (instead of '''A''').
(Atelier Meruru Plus: the Apprentice of Arland on Vita is rated as '''B''' for CERO, '''T''' for ESRB, '''12''' for PEGI and '''12+''' for Taiwan Game Software Rating Regulations.)
*ESRB: Vita Game About Giving Girls Orgasms Accidentally Rated for '''E'''veryone: Gal*Gun: Double Peace has been mistakenly marked with the rating E instead of '''M'''
Many video games have certain elements removed or edited due to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regionally_censored_video_games regional rating] standards.

=== Play duration ===
You can restrict the duration that your child plays per day.
With this restriction, when the daily play duration that you set is exceeded, the system cannot be used.
It is possible to bypass this restriction by resetting the clock- hold <code>START + SELECT + PS + POWER</code> until the system powers itself off. once you turn it back on you will be prompted to set the time again and the playtime timer will be reset.
