Yes, you can have both a primary PS4 and a primary PS5 registered to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account. Each console generation allows you to designate one system as your primary or 'home' console, enabling anyone who uses your primary console to access your games and media. However, the primary system settings are independent for PS4 and PS5, meaning you can enjoy the benefits on both consoles simultaneously.
