How to block specific users from contacting you on the PS3

Last Updated: July 6, 2023

How do I block a console user on PS3?

If you are receiving unsolicited messages from users, encountered in one of our games, then you can block them through the XMB to prevent any future communication. 

  1. Press the PS button in the middle of the controller to bring up the XMB

  2. Scroll to the right until they get to the 'Friends' column

  3. Click on the 'Players Met' option

  4. Select the offender from the list of players and click the triangle button to bring up the list of options

  5. Select 'Add to Block List'

  6. Confirm the selection.

Unfortunately, this will only permanently mute them, regardless of the game you are playing.  You may still encounter them through matchmaking.
