• Parental controls: Set limits and schedules for children's playtime.
• Playtime monitoring: Monitor playtime on your phone.
• Purchase requests: Kids can send purchase requests, which you'll see on your computer or phone.
• Multiple members playing: Multiple family members can play games from your library simultaneously, even when online, as long as they're not playing the same game.

Gyro Update #

The gyro update introduces new features for a better gaming experience:

• Customizable enable buttons: Choose from a combination of buttons to enable gyro, such as pressing both analog sticks in, L1 and R1 at the same time, or two face buttons.
