PS5 game sharing is a feature that allows you to play the games purchased on your PS5 console on another PS5 or PS4 without having to buy the game again. Essentially, it lets you share your digital game library with a friend or family member, enabling both of you to enjoy the games. To share games, you need to activate the other person's PS5 as your 'Primary PS5' and vice versa. This way, anyone logged into that console can access and play the shared games. It’s a great way to explore more games without additional cost.
