To add a second player to your PS5, you need an additional controller. First, turn on the second controller by pressing the PS button. The console will prompt the second player to log in; they can do this by creating a guest account or logging in with their PlayStation Network account. If it’s your first time setting up a second controller, the PS5 might ask you to connect the controller via USB cable for initial registration. Once connected and logged in, the second player will be ready to join in on the gaming action.
