Late to the party but it worked perfectly, thank you.

If both console’s are mine, in the same house, can I just use the same account login on both, ie. PSN account?

[@richieace5492]

yes. this is meant for the other ps5 using a different account log in

[@z28yeti]

Wish this actually worked, because it's doing nothing for me right now.

[@sourceow8795]

Trying to figure out how I can get my games onto my account on my brother's console which is in a different state. I'm visiting him in a couple days and really want to play my games on his console

[@kevthereviewer5075]

How did that work out for you?

[@sourceow8795]

@@kevthereviewer5075 from what I can remember I don't think i could get it to work, I think I just played a couple games on his Xbox instead 💀😭

[@richieace5492]

you need to sign into his ps5 and it will work

Issue on PS5 and console sharing option. Purchased a new PS5 for the basement tv room. Our main PS5 console is upstairs and when I setup the new unit in the basement I selected console sharing and offline. Things seemed to work fine all upstairs games were available to play under my account and my sons account. The issue is when he tries to play on the upstairs machine now it’s asking that the software be purchased. Is there a fix for this?

[@richieace5492]

the second ps5 should use the console sharing option. the first ps5 can just use the account the game was purchased on

[@someguyusa]

Only the console with console sharing and offline enabled can allow users other than the user account that bought the game to play it. So, your basement PS5 is the one that will allow any user on that console to play the games you have purchased with your main account. The living room PS5 only allows the main account that originally bought the games to play them. If your son has his own account, then he will only be able to play the game's you purchased on your account by using the basement PS5, which is enabled for sharing and offline play.

So I can’t keep the same play with the same psn account at the same time? I put too many hours in Elden Ring to not be able to 😭

[@accelerateall9996]

If i share my games with my brothers ps5 will i be able to play my games offline? Because i want to be able to play my games offline

[@ajay1832]

Hi, i want to know one thing that can we use one PS5 Account on two play stations?

[@elephantmoney]

Do they have to be in the same household?

[@benabong]

So can u play games ur mate bought on their console?

[@whittaker691]

So when sharing from ps5, to another, it can only be for offline play?

[@nafisishtiaque]

I shared my PS4 when I had a PS4. Does PS4 count as well.

[@emilep5753]

If I share with my brother, can we play the game together?

[@TheCarevi]

Does this work with digitaly bought games?

[@GCROCK]

Yes 👍

[@shadowfallenable]

Thanks

[@smartt]

They pretty much have to live with you anyway because AFAIK it doesn’t work over internet

[@juanlicona924]

You talk too fast makes it more confusing

[@YAYGOME]

This didn’t work for me 🤔 our is being so buggy

[@GingerfoxGaming]

Wonder if this works for ps plus as well 🤔

[@GCROCK]

Yes it does 👍 Only one of you will have to purchase. Thats how it was on PS4 anyway

[@GingerfoxGaming]

@@GCROCK awesome killa will be over the moon! Thanks ☺

[@GCROCK]

No worries, me and raddy did it on PS4 so I do assume it will be the same. The one downside is if you ever have internet downage, you can only play the games on the account which has this setting on if that makes sense. So if only one of you really buys the games, then none would work during internet outage 👍

[@ClipLxcks_GG]

Im About To Buy Another PS5

[@FnAlfie]

All of the games are locked

[@richieace5492]

the games will not be locked on the ps5 that has console sharing activated. Only one ps5 can do it and the other ps5 the player has to log into the account that purchased the game
