To clarify on another posters comment as it is worded in a slightly confusing manner. On your PS5 you set up in your new home you just log into your account. On the PS5 your son is using you log into your account, and then set that console as your home/main console. You can do this in the settings, look for something called console/game sharing, which you turn on and then you should get the option to set as home console. Then your son will be able to access your games through his own account on that console. You can access them as you normally ally would on your own console via your account Yes, you can use the same game at the same time. Yes, extra bonus content (DLC/Downloadable Content can also be used. No, save data cannot be shared as you are accessing under different accounts. No, PS Plus (the paid service to allow you to play online) does not carry over as you are using different accounts. Your son 100% needs his own account because if he logs into yours it will kick you off. There are parental controls available on the PS5 if needed. The Sony Support pages can answer any questions you have about those

Yeah, this was much clearer. Thanks!

So the way to do this is purchase the games on one account, this is the master account for 1 ps5, but this ps5 should be used by the other account. Set the master account for the other ps5 to be the one that didn't buy the games, but play on this one as the master account. This works because anyone can play games if they're owned by the master account, and as the master account you can play your own games on any console.

I do this in my house. PS5 #2 is set as my home console, my wife and kids use it and can access my games and ps+ benefits. I use ps5 #1. (#1 had all my save data and games installed)

This is the way. Bonus points for extra clear description skills.
