If possible, gather evidence of the issue. This could be screenshots or video clips of the inappropriate behavior or content. Remember, the more evidence you provide, the easier it will be for PlayStation Safety to investigate your report.
Step 3: Access the Reporting Feature
You can report a player or content directly from the PSN interface. The reporting feature is usually accessible from the profile of the player you wish to report or from the specific content (like a message or a community post) that you find inappropriate.
If you encounter offensive messages online, please block and report the offending user.
Don’t retaliate.
