Me and my friend just made an extra account (name is C). My friend and I both have separate accounts (a and b. I have account A on my PS4 and he has account B on his). We buy games on account C (share the game price 50/50) and get the game on all 3 accounts
How does that work do u both have ps plus because I have my account shared with my friend I'm A he's B. We buy all accounts on my account A but he has my primary so he's actually A now and I'm B. When I try to play local coop it says I need ps plus with the 2nd player
I didn’t end up having psn plus but it still worked, so thank you so much man. We need more people this specific as you like honestly I’m so great full!
I have 2 ps4's in my house. Mine and my daughers. Hers is activated as my primary and mine is activated as her primary. Both have 3 accounts. Mine, hers, and my wifes. Only my account has plus. All accounts on both systems have no problem playing all games. I would not recommend sharing with anyone outside of your own household.
Might as well call it "game swapping." Gamesharing isn't the same like it used to be on PS3, you used to be able to have 5 PS3's activated, and even when they lowered it to two it was still fine because you could share with one person. Edit 4/3: There was also something else that *was* plausible to get more than one primary PS4. Your friend gameshares with you, you activate their account on your PS4. You download all of the games that you can on your system, then sign out of that account. Your friend would then go to Sony's website and use the "deactivate all" function (which can only be used once every 6 months) and he would be able to activate his PS4 as primary again and you would still be able to play the games that he downloaded, as long as you never tried to sign back into that account. This also was (and still is) a viable option on PS3, but surprisingly has been patched for the PS4 when they introduced the 5.0 or 4.0 update. The PS4 now recognizes if itself is activated as primary on that account that you used, and if its not then the licenses will be revoked immediately. (Even if you're signed out of the account) It's even a message that appears when it's trying (and failing) to authenticate this. This is ALSO why if you are banned, then the licenses for *everything* that you have bought on that account are revoked IMMEDIATELY. On the PS3, and before the 4.0 update(?) you were able to still play your games if the account was banned until they were deleted or until you deleted the user which bought the games. Anyways this comment is too long lmaooo food for thought.
I have a PS3 and PS4 with my friend's account on both consoles, and I have the benefit of activating his account as primary on PS3 and getting free PS Plus on both consoles, and my other friend has his account as a primary PS4
Now, my brother just got a Playstation 4 Pro, and I put my account on his console. My account is still activated on MY PS4, by the way. Anyway, he later came home and put HIS account on the console, making it HIS activated account. Now each game he downloads I can play on MY account, on his console. Is this considered "Illegal game sharing"? If so then Sony needs to remove this because it's not illegal, at least not by Sony's standards (their Terms of Service), and if it is, then they false advertised, which is also illegal. I mean, when you first turn on a brand new PS4 and set it up for the first time, it tells you that by activating your account, your other accounts will reap the benefits. I watched the video, but I'm still confused on what Sony considers "Illegal game sharing." Is it considered illegal when it's between random people? Is it considered illegal when you swap system activations aka my account activated on your system and your account activated on mine? Or is what I stated above considered game sharing? Sony makes things so difficult. All they have to do, if this is the case, is make it where you can't share games at all across accounts, only your activated account. Also, since my account is activated on MY PS4, will having my account on my brothers PS4 spark a red flag? I say this because Sony might look and say, "if he already has his account activated on one console, why would he also put it on another console? Wouldn't it be better and more beneficial for him to play on his playstation since it's activated on there?" I mean, it would be questionable and a good question at that, but at the same time, it wouldn't make sense to be considered a red flag. I don't know, just a though. So many damn questions! SMH...
My questions: If ps4 1 is the main user and gives access to ps4 2. Ps4 1 is deactivated and ps4 2 is active; can ps4 1(which is the main user) download, and play online while ps4 2 is the active account?
I have a question! So what if you’re game sharing with someone and you decide to not game share with him anymore, so you deactivate him as primary blah blah blah. Now those games that you still have you go on someone elses account and game share with that new person, do i keep those games from the other persons account or no?
So basically all you have to do is the account that has bout all the games and wants other profiles to play it all I have to do is go to accord my info and make it the primary thingy?
i have infinite warfare i have ufc2 have call of duty wwII i have nba 2k18 i have dragon ball xenoverse 2 and 1 i have destiny 2 i have call of duty modern warfare remasterd and i have friday the 13th
So I’m gamesharing with my brother. He got the Black Ops 4 digital deluxe edition. Will I be able to get all the benefits of the black ops pass when I play black ops 4( when the game comes out).
I don't gameshare because I have friends that gameshare with there friends and they stole he account so that why I stay away from gameshare I work to hard for my money to buy games this for them to be stolen no thank you like I till all my friends get a job and buy your own games
I got acc stolen 4 times lol just call sony on the phone or go in a live chat with them depending on your psn acc region if its american call the american phone number and you can use live chat but if its british you have to call the british number or email them. You find the numbers on google dont ask
So if I give my brother my account and he puts it on his ps4 has the primary he can play my games right? I don't have psplus thought because we're I live we don't have unlimited Internet so having it would be a waste cause I can't every really use all the online functionstore i turn my wifi off unless I'm downloading a game
same thing as the video but cant do it on multiple ps4s, example i can put my brothers and sisters accounts on my ps4. only if their accounts arnt activated on another ps4
You can't you can only have one person's, of course you could have more but they would automatically lock and you would have to go on that person's account that has the game, so chill out
I need help. I recently just gameshared with a friend, the problem is... when I log into his profile the games I got from him are all there without a lock so I can play.. but he insists he always needs to be logged into his account... will that disturb me in anyway ? he does not want me on using his profile all the time as he needs to use it himself but if I log out of his profile and go in to my own.. the games I got from him get a lock.... how do I get around this problem ?
Okay... I've been looking all over the place trying to find an answer, and it should be very simple, if you can, please answer this question. I've been trying to find one EVERYWHERE and I can't seem to find it since no one has ever asked apparently. I'll make it as simple as I can. Here goes, Friend #1 game shared his games with me, can I game share friend #1's games with friend #2? Since I downloaded friend #1's games it should be in my library right? So if I gave my account to friend #2 he should be able to download friend #1's games through my library right?? If someone could please answer that'd be amazing, thank you.
So my brother stays a few blocks away from my place, but we want to gameshare. And we both are ps plus members So i have ww2 and he doesn't, so if we gameshare, will we be able to play the game online at the same time?
yes... keep your account as primary on your ps4 ... then log in your account on his ps4... He should play from your account on his ps4... while you should start WWII on your ps4 from any other account. Your second account can play WWII and use the ps plus
Wait do u need PS plus for both account to game share And do my friend need my account and my friend gives his account to me btw can I get only his account but he don't get my account
My friend and i are trying to gameshare bo4. I have his account activated but when I'm on his account from my console it still says i have to pay. Is it because the full game has not came out yet and he pre ordered it?
Hey I was wondering if i can share a game with someone. Let's say destiny 2. I purchased it with my main account and I want to play with my cousin. It is possible we play tgt with game sharing?

This is the first time I'm game sharing with my cousin. Im able share it on my end and play each other's games. My cousin can't play my games. It show it locked. We tried to activate and deactivate and only one of us can use. Are we doing something wrong?
Me and my sister tried this and it did not work. I put my account on her ps4 and she put her account on mine. I set her as the primary account for my ps4 and I set my account as the primary for hers. But all the games she purchased are still locked on my ps4 on my account on my ps4 and vice versa. Doing this didn't remove the locks on the games. Help? Does anyone know why of have a fix?
Okay so I have allot of games like FIFA 18,battlefront 2 etc. And I wanna game share with my cousins which they have their own ps4 can they both game share and get to play the games from my ps4

[PS4]Looking to game share with someone that has AC Origins gold edition. I have the $100 version of destiny 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, DB Xenoverse 1& 2 + all addons, FFXV + season pass and much more.
I have been using this method for years. It is finally 2018 and all of a sudden I cannot use my purchased content when using my account on the ps4 I do NOT have activated as my primary. Everything still works for all accounts on the ps4 I have activated as my primary. However when using my account on the NOT activated ps4, I now get the lock icons and a new error message when I try to launch the application. The error message reads, "Cannot use the content. You were signed in to Playstation Network on another ps4. It will take some time until you can use the content on this ps4 with your license." I have waited over night with no success. The only way I can play my content is if I activate thr ps4 as my primary. That is not acceptable though because my other playstation can no longer use my content. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know a solution?
IM GO FIRST OR NO DEAL I'm want injustice 2 call of duty WW2 rainbow six siege or La noire. I will gameshare Deadrising 2, manual Samuel and resident evil 6.
So you just go and activate "madame" eve console. One question. Who the fuck is madame eve??? I see a Lady Eve, but don't see madame. I'm joking But seriously.
Just to be clear 1.we both need to login with each others account first Both ps4 are deactivated at this point 2. If I want my friends collection I have to activate my ps4 while my friends ps4 has to remain deactivated and we both enjoy each others game right ? 3. Similarly If my friend want my games my ps4 will be deactivated while his is active and we still enjoy each other games ?
Me and a friend created a new account so we can start sharing games.. We just bought moderm WARFARE and it is locked for us.. Only unlocked at the account we created? This is so confusing can you help please mate
my son is in Singapore I am in Thailand and we goin nuts trying to game share, because family management isn't online, its on each local device, so he cant download the games I buy here in Thailand, on his Psp4 in Singapore. Of course so he just logs in to my account, and download the games to his ps4 on my profile, and then log in using his own account after downloading . two users on each device in each country - game owner's profile has to be the one to activate the device, and add the other user to family management. After this can share. Profiles are safe, as passcode pin numbers can be placed on each profile
Hey, so I shared with my boyfriend wwii and another. I live across the city. So it worked for two days. I made my profile primary on his ps4 and disconnected mine.i then downloaded the games and switched his profile back to primary. I was able to play my games at home as could he at his home. Just a while ago he called me to let me know Wii is now locked. Although I am not primary he is not allowed to play my games as along as I'm online at my home. Why is it kicking me off of his ps4 when I log into my ps4 at home.
I tried gamesharing with my friend multiple times but its a big lie. If i have my account active on a ps4 as primary system any one on that ps4 can play my.games on there acount. But wat everyone forgets to mention is when an acount is activated on a console as primary you can not, i repeat CAN NOT!! use that acount on any other system. So if you gameshare with someone you wont be able to acces your own games anymore unless both acounts are on the same console. So dont do it, ive tried it multiple times dusnt work
I get how to do it what confuses me is at the end.I want to game share with my brother cause he just got a ps4 but what I'm confused about is if I put my PSN on his PS4 will I be able to put back my PSN as the primary on my ps4?
I game shared with my friend but my controller LED light is red and both mine and his account are activated on my ps4. What’s wrong ? & also should he activate both accounts on his, will that fix it ?
Wait, but we both can’t play a game at the same time? Say my buddy is logged on to my account to download grand theft auto, I am now locked. And it says it’ll take some time for license to restore? How long does that take so we can both play my game at the same time?
How do you get dlcs from someone you're file sharing with? It won't let me download dlcs or just says that either I need to buy it on my profile or when I'm in there profile it says the the prodect is owned but can't download please help
My brother downloaded WW2 and when i go on his account on my ps4 it doesnt show up in his library. On his ps4 theres a lock on it when u look at it in the library. Help someone
