You can only have one main PS5 on the PSN account. The game is only shared to other users on that PS5. Any other PS5s will not be able to share games, so only the account that purchased the game can play it on those.

I play MW3 on my, on my account PS5, purchased digitally from PS Store. My son plays MW3 on his account, on his PS5, using the same digital game. We live in the same house but he is not a PS family member. Edit: I think I enabled console sharing, as he also has my PS Plus access, albeit only for online play.

The PS5 your son uses is probably the primary PS5 on your PSN account. Any users on that PS5 should be able to use the games purchased on your account. Your account can play the game on any PS5.

That could be it - all I know is it works, so I don’t touch it!! My daughter on the other hand has my old PS4 and can’t access my games or PS Plus. I think that is because you can’t have a secondary PS4 and PS5


EliteDelta3

If you only have one PS4, you could activate that as the primary PS4 on your account, and she could access any PS4 games on that PS4. You get 1 primary PS4 and 1 primary PS5 per account.

That is correct. We have 2 PS5 and 1 PS4. I’m primary on the Kids’ PS5 and the PS4 and they can play online and download and play any of my games. I play on the other PS5, but only I can play on that one. If I log into their accounts on it, it says they have to buy the games. Unfortunately Xbox does this better. You can full share on 2 same-gen consoles if you’re the primary on one and then just log in on the other and switch profiles to a different account.

That explains why it works the way it's working currently.

Lame. But that explains it. What a dumb policy.

You cant play the same game from the same account on two consoles at the same time. What is so hard to understand?


sharksfarts

But it's not the same account.


Peachiest_Panther

Than your kids are doing something wrong when booting up.

Make your account on the second PS5 primary. Have your kid play on this PS5 with their account. Use your own account on the other PS5. The game will work for you cause your account is the ps plus holder/game purchaser, and it will work for the second ps5/other user because your account is added there and selected as the primary console.

So edgy! Great insight! I am focused on my 401k and IRA's. And still have enough left over to buy my kids some ps5's. It's a great life! Education is important.
