How to share your Playstation subscription ?

Video games

In this tutorial, we will see how to share your PS4 account (Playstation PLUS & Playstation NOW) in order to benefit from your friend's dematerialized games (and vice versa) and also enjoy online gaming mode.

WARNING: We advise you to use this method only with someone you trust.

Now that you have been warned, let's go to practice :)

The method :

On the owner's console :

In order to enjoy your friend's downloaded games, you need to log in with his/her account on your console and activate this new account as the main PS4.

First, log out of your profile or change user (long press PS > Change user).

Once on the profiles page, click on "New user" then "Create user".

Accept the Playstation license agreement.

On the Playstation Network page, click Next.

Enter your friend's login information and then click Login.

Once on the new profile, go to Settings > Account Management and then Activate as Primary PS4.

On your friend's console :

Your friend has to do exactly the same thing on his/her PS4 by connecting your account.

Once this is done, enter your friend's profile (from your console) and go to his/her library.

Here is the list of all the games he/she has downloaded will appear.

All you have to do is choose the desired game and download it.

Once the download has started, you can return to your account.

In the notifications you will see the new game downloading.

And that's it, when the download is complete, you'll be able to enjoy the game on your console without any worries 🎮!
