    In the segment about both playing at the same time, you said they can play "online/offline it doesn't matter" then you said I could play (only mentioned) offline but then "access to online features". Can you clarify this, specifically this difference between, active/deactive and online/offline. If my account is not the "active" account on my PS4, do I still have access to play online?
    Great video and information.

    So, only one person (the account that activates the PlayStation as primary) needs to buy the PS+ subscription, and both can play online with their own profiles (the profile with the activated PlayStation, but with no subscription, and the profile with the subscription but using the deactivated PlayStation)?

      Both have to be active for both to access the others content
      Only one account has to have ps plus but if you have a credit card or money on your PS4 it will automatically renew your ps plus when it runs out so in settings you can turn this off to save money by sharing ps plus

  • @rahimmuhammad6798
    @rahimmuhammad6798 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is this still working now?
    Coz i got a problm.
    1st Console.
    When i sign in with my real PSN acount (full of game),
    i set as a primary, restore lisence and sign out.
    Then i sign with another acount on the 1st console.
    So the another acount can play any game on it.
    I set "the another acount" as a primary, BUT with no sign out.
    Until this step, all things works.
    But the next is the weird one.
    2nd Console
    I repeat the first step.
    I sign in with my real PSN acount (full of game),
    But when wanna set as a primary, i cant make it.
    The 2nd told that i have to deactivate the 1st.
    Do i made a mistake?
    Please advise...
    Thank you
    As you said, first step it works. It could be offline/online

    1:12 If you are sharing with someone who has PS+ and they are also sharing with you then this isn't a problem. Every profile on the PlayStation that is activated as primary from a PS+ subscribed account will be able to play online, even if none of the other profiles have PS+.
