Yes, two users on the same PS5 can share games through a feature called Console Sharing and Offline Play. To enable it, one user sets the PS5 as their primary console, allowing all other users on that console to access and play the games purchased by the primary user. Additionally, games can be shared between accounts via the PlayStation Plus Family Sharing feature. Just remember, for digital games, you'll need to be logged into the account that purchased the games to download them initially.
FAQs & Answers
- How do I set my PS5 as the primary console for game sharing? To set your PS5 as the primary console, log into your PlayStation account, go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play, and enable it. This lets other users on that console access your purchased games.
- Can I share physical PS5 games between two user accounts? Physical PS5 games can be played by any user on the same console without restrictions, as the disc must be inserted to play.
- Do both users need a PlayStation Plus subscription to share games? No, only the primary account that owns the games needs a PlayStation Plus subscription for online play. Other users on the same PS5 can access shared games without their own subscription.
