Once you've entered your birthdate into your PSN account, there's no option to edit your age. To get around this limitation, you used to be able to link your PSN account to your Sony account, which forced you to enter a new birthdate. This workaround is no longer available, so the only way to change your birth year is to contact Sony, or upgrade to an adult account once you turn 18. Here's how to change a PSN account age on your computer or mobile device.
Updating the Date of Birth on PlayStation
If you want to change the date of birth on your PSN account, you'll need to contact Sony directly. If you can provide a good reason for the change, an agent should be able to update your account to the correct birthday. If your account is a minor account, your only option is to wait until you turn 18.
