PSN Sub Accounts now upgradeable to Master Accounts

4.6

PlayStation Network users are now able to convert Sub Accounts to Master Accounts.

Sony Network Entertainment VP Eric Lempel announced the much-requested feature in a post via the PlayStation Blog.

"Starting today, PlayStation Network (PSN) users will gain the ability to upgrade a sub account to a master account," he said on Thursday.

"We're always listening to user feedback, and this is a feature that many of you have asked for. You'll be able to upgrade an account first through the web and later through PlayStation 4."

He went on to confirm: "Your profile will be carried over when upgrading to a master account, along with items like your friends list and Trophies."

Sony has posted instructions on how to carry out the process here.

Earn This article doesn't really explain what a master account is but from the comments I assume it's where parents can monitor what there children are doing on there accounts through the internet?

It honestly would have been, because any proof of an under 18 using a master account can result in a console ban. Do you know how much better this will be? It's not that I've got a problem with kids or squeaky voices, it's that these terrible parents that let their kids play these games at such a young age should be punished really. But at least these kids can have their consoles banned to teach them a lesson.

Surely this would have been better around the Mw2 era...

Im not trying to start a war, but hasn't 360 had this feature for years? Why have PSN only picked up on it now? Pretty slow of them.

I don't know much of PSN, does this mean if you have a daughter account you can make it your own?

If so, why wasn't this a thing like, years ago?
