Sony beperkt PlayStation-chat tot geverifieerde leeftijd

Sony Interactive Entertainment is introducing mandatory age verification for PlayStation communication features, including messaging and voice chat. Players in the UK and Ireland have already received email notifications about the upcoming requirement. Those who do not verify their age will lose access to communication tools but can still use purchased games, trophies, and the PlayStation Store. Sony plans to expand the policy to other markets later in 2026, citing a commitment to safe, age-appropriate gaming environments.
