Yes, you can play PS5 games on two consoles, but there are some conditions. Make your primary PS5 console the ‘primary console’ on your PlayStation account, which allows any user on that console to access your games. For the second PS5, you can play your games as long as you’re logged into your PSN account. Remember, you cannot play the same game simultaneously on both consoles with a single purchase unless the game supports it or you have a specific license for multiple devices.
