Yes, 2 PSN (PlayStation Network) accounts can share games through a process known as 'Console Sharing and Offline Play' on PS5 or 'Primary PS4' activation for PS4. This feature allows one account to purchase a game and share it with another account on the same console, enabling both accounts to play the game. Remember, the account owning the games must set the console as their primary device or enable console sharing to allow the other account to access and play the purchased games.
