My brother is about to buy a ps5 and i want to confirm. On ps4 i made his the primary console with my account, and hence he could play my games on his ps4 and his account, while I also had access to them on my ps4


Is this still possible on ps5? Will he have access to my digital ps5 games with the same method? How about psn extra?

Thanks!

Still works on PS5.

Yep, I think that you can even be logged simultaneously on ps5 and ps4 but I am not sure though...If it works it may be great for gamesharing.

Regular ps+ allows sharing like games. Cant speak for extra. You can also share his games if he sets your console as his primary. You also can still share the ps4 games.

All of this is why I only buy discs when need to use store gift cards now. Sharing with kids helps keep costs down on new games.

yeah it works, you can have 2 ps5s and one ps4 all online at the same time.

Yes. Exactly how it works on PS4.

In PS5 settings it's called console sharing.

As far as I'm aware you can share with one other console.

Yes. I have multiple PS5s through out my house.

In your case, your brothers console needs to be your primary account, but he plays on his account.

Any other PS5 (your house for example) you can log in (not being the primary) and access your content.

Hope that helps.

But no one else can access the games under thier account on the OPs PS5 right?

Correct. The primary account PS5 profiles all access the content. But the secondary PS5 (OPs PS5) can access the content he has purchased/downloaded.

My son had a PS4, he lives with his partner. I had access to all his content on my PS4. All 3 of us can play.
Now
My son has a PS4, he lives with his partner. If he shares his PS5 account with me on my PS5, his partner looses access.

This is what is happening for us...am I doing it wrong or did it infact change from PS4 to PS5?
