Yes, two PS4 accounts can share games through a feature known as 'Console Sharing and Offline Play' on one primary PS4 console. To enable this, the account purchasing the game must set the console as their primary PS4, allowing any other account on that console to play the games purchased by the primary account. This method is valuable for families or friends looking to enjoy games together without purchasing multiple copies.
