How to Game Share with a Friend on PS4 Console & Share PS PLUS (Best Method)
3Game sharing on the PS4 allows you to share your digital game library and PlayStation Plus benefits with another user, typically on a different console, by leveraging the "Primary PS4" feature. It's a common practice among friends and family, but it's important to understand how it works and some potential caveats.
Understanding "Primary PS4"
Each PlayStation Network (PSN) account can have one PS4 designated as its "Primary PS4." When a PS4 is activated as your primary console, it allows:
All users on that console to play your digital games and access your PlayStation Plus benefits (like online multiplayer and free monthly games).
You to play your digital games even when you're offline.
How to Game Share on PS4 (The Two-Console Method)
This is the most common way to game share between two individuals who have their own PS4 consoles. The basic idea is that each person makes the other person's PS4 their "Primary PS4."
Let's say you are Player A and your friend is Player B.
Steps for Player A to set up game sharing on Player B's PS4:
Player A logs into Player B's PS4:
On Player B's PS4, go to Settings - Login Settings -User Management - Create User.
Follow the prompts to create a new user, but when asked to create a new account, choose "Skip" and sign in with Player A's existing PSN account details (email and password).
Once signed in as Player A on Player B's console, go to Settings - Account Management - Activate as Your Primary PS4.
Select Activate to confirm.
Important: If Player A already has their own PS4 activated as primary, they will need to Deactivate their own console as primary first before activating Player B's console. You can only have one PS4 activated as primary at a time for your account. To do this, Player A would go to their own PS4, sign in, and go to Settings - Account Management - Activate as Your Primary PS4 and choose Deactivate.
Player B logs back into their own account on their PS4:
Now, Player B can switch back to their own PSN account on their console.
Since Player A's account has Player B's PS4 activated as primary, Player B will now have access to all of Player A's digital games and PlayStation Plus benefits (if Player A has PS Plus). Player B can download games from Player A's library and play them under their own profile.
