PlayStation’s age-gating restrictions are coming to UK consoles

Sony is complying with the UK's Online Safety Act by notifying PlayStation players of its age verification requirements. PS4 and PS5 owners in the UK and Ireland will not be able to participate in voice chats, messaging, and other third-party communication services from June unless they verify their age. Age verification will also be required for broadcasting features or sharing gameplay to YouTube or Twitch from a PlayStation console.
