RELATED: The Best Tablet Games for Kids To make sure your kid’s game doesn’t unexpectedly cut off just as they are about to reach a new level or slay a final boss, Play Time Management gives players a warning when their designated gaming time is running low. That way, they can wrap up whatever they are doing before their time runs out, hopefully preventing any epic tantrums or meltdowns. Along with Play Time Management, the new System software update 5.50 also includes changes to the system’s interface, a supersampling mode that will make games look sharper on 1080p TVs, and the ability to add custom wallpapers. As video game addiction becomes an increasingly common problem for children, parents are left wondering how to curb their kid’s habits and keep them from becoming too attached to their virtual worlds. For the most part, companies like Sony have stayed out of the way when it comes to helping parents limit video game use, but Play Time Management shows just how real these concerns have become. Hopefully, other companies will follow suit and help video games remain a fun way for people of all ages to spend time, instead of an addiction that further disconnects kids from reality.
