# Does getting banned from PlaySafe ID ban me from all games?

No, a PlaySafe ID penalty does not affect your ability to play games outright.

A PlaySafe ID penalty applies solely to PlaySafe Protected matchmaking. This means that while a penalised PlaySafe ID will be blocked from accessing PlaySafe Protected environments, it does not in itself restrict access to standard matchmaking or general gameplay.

It is worth noting, however, that a PlaySafe ID penalty typically follows a ban issued by the game itself. Meaning access to standard matchmaking may already be restricted independently of any PlaySafe ID penalty.

Regardless, creating a new game account will not restore access to PlaySafe Protected matchmaking. The penalty is tied to your verified PlaySafe ID, not your game account, so switching accounts does not bypass it.
