Sharing PlayStation Plus benefits, including online multiplayer, on PS4 accounts primarily relies on the "Activate as Your Primary PS4" setting. This feature allows the PS Plus subscription and digital games from one account to be shared with other users on that specific console.

Here's how it works for different scenarios:

Scenario 1: Sharing PlayStation Plus on the SAME PS4 Console

This is the most straightforward and officially supported method. If you have multiple user accounts on one PS4 (e.g., family members using the same console), you only need one PlayStation Plus subscription.

How to set it up:

Log in to the PS4 account that HAS PlayStation Plus. This is the account with the active PS Plus subscription.

Go to Settings (the toolbox icon on the home screen).
Scroll down and select Account Management.
Choose Activate as Your Primary PS4.

Select Activate. If it's already activated, it will say so. If not, activate it.
What gets shared on the same console:

Once your PS4 is activated as primary for the PS Plus account, all other user accounts on that same console will automatically gain access to:

Online Multiplayer: They can play online games using their own accounts.

PlayStation Plus Monthly Games: Any PS Plus games that the subscribing account has "added to library" can be downloaded and played by other users on that console.

PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (for Extra/Premium tiers): If the subscribing account has PS Plus Extra or Premium, other users on that primary PS4 can download and play games from the catalog.

Games purchased with PS Plus discounts: If the subscribing account purchased a game at a PS Plus discounted price, other users on the primary console can play it.
