To play the same game on PS4 with 2 people, one option is to use the 'Share Play' feature. This allows a friend to join your game remotely or even take control. Alternatively, for local multiplayer, ensure the game supports this mode and connect an additional controller to the console. Setup is simple: turn on the second controller, sign in with a separate PSN account (or guest), and follow the in-game instructions for multiplayer mode.
