PlayStation 5 account/game sharing

atlantis187

I have just bought another PS5 for my other son so now we have 2 in the house,
we have some games purchased on my account and some on his account.
how can we make the games work across both consoles and is there a way both sons can play the same game at the same time on the different consoles?

I think if you set the secondary PS5 as the home PlayStation of the account that bought the games, then sign into the primary PS5 with that account it will allow access to both games simultaneously without having to be logged in to the same account on the secondary one

Select the "Settings" icon > "Users and Accounts" > "Other" > "Console Sharing and Offline Play > "Enable" to set a PS5 as the primary console.

This doesnt work as it locks the game on the other ps5

It shouldn't lock it to that PS5, it will just mean there's no need to be signed in to the account that owns the game.

You may need to resync the licenses, do this on both machines. It does work i gameshare with my son.
