How to Activate PS4 as Primary to Share PS Plus & Games (Easy Tutorial)
8Activating your PlayStation 4 (PS4) as your primary console allows you to share PlayStation Plus benefits like online multiplayer, cloud storage, and discounts, as well as share games with other accounts on the same console. Here's how you can do it:
Steps to Activate PS4 as Primary:
Ensure You're Logged into Your PSN Account:
Turn on your PS4 and sign in with the PlayStation Network (PSN) account that has the PS Plus subscription.
Go to Settings:
From the PS4 home screen, navigate to "Settings".
Access Account Management:
Scroll down and select "Account Management".
Activate as Your Primary PS4:
Choose "Activate as Your Primary PS4".
Select "Activate" to confirm.
Confirmation:
You should see a message confirming that the console has been activated as your primary PS4.
Notes:
Only One Primary Console per Account: You can only have one primary console at a time per PSN account. If you've previously activated another console as primary, you'll need to deactivate it first or simply activate this one, which will automatically deactivate the other.
Sharing PS Plus and Games:
Once activated, any user account on this PS4 can use the PS Plus benefits, including online multiplayer without needing their own subscription.
Games purchased with your account can also be played by other accounts on this console, provided they are downloaded or installed.
Deactivation:
If you need to deactivate this console, go back to "Account Management" - "Deactivate as Your Primary PS4". This can also be done online via the PlayStation website under "Device Management" for your account if you can't access the console.
Internet Connection: Ensure your console is connected to the internet for these settings to take effect.
Account Login: While other users don't necessarily need to log in with your account to play games or use PS Plus, they must have their own PSN accounts to sign in for features like trophies or cloud saves.
