Yes, you can play the same game on two different PlayStations, provided you follow the platform's guidelines. The primary method is by using one account with the game purchased digitally. Set one PlayStation as your 'Primary PS4' which allows any user on that console to play the game. On the other PlayStation, log in with the same account used to purchase the game; you'll be able to play it as long as you're logged in. This solution works best for digital versions and may vary with physical copies.
