    This method worked just fine...after looking at and reading so many how to's yours worked perfectly.
    Look people this is all you have to do.....
    1) log into PS4 #1 with YOUR account IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY (must have PS+MEMBERSHIP)
    2) Set PS4 #1 as YOUR primary console.
    3) Create or Login your 2nd non PS+MEMBERSHIP profile/user.
    4) Logout of PS4 #1 that has the PS+ MEMBERSHIP.
    5) If 2nd user/profile is not already logged in DO SO!!!
    6) Go to PS4 #2 Log in 2nd user/profile.
    7) Make PS4 #2 the primary console for user/profile #2
    8) Lastly, PS+MEMBER log into PS4 #2 with YOUR account info.
    9) PS4 #1 AND PS4 #2 CAN USE THE SAME GAMES THAT PS+MEMBER HAS ON PS4 #1.

    • @mydoodads
      @mydoodads  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure its to be expected, but thought its worth pointing out that when you game share. Neither your brother or you should be changing which account is Primary on your consoles. Keep your PS4 as your Primary account and his PS4 as his Primary account. Instead, when you want to game share. If you are sharing a game that you bought, your brother logs in as you and you log onto your PS4 as him.
      Hope that helps.

      Gameshare only allows for a single copy of a game to be played concurrently on two consoles. If one copy is being used on the primary system and the other on a secondary console. If a third person tries to to play the same game at the same time, one of the three players will be locked out.

    when I sign into my friend's psn account after making a new profile it displays the theme of a new user. not his themes or trophies or anything. Is that okay or normal before I set him as primary user on my PS4 and disable his account on his PS4 ?

    • @mydoodads
      @mydoodads  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds correct. Unlike the Xbox, which syncs a users profile from console to console, a PSN account does the very basics i.e.games, saved data, captured videos and screenshots, system settings, and other content. As it does not transfer the whole user profile things like themes will be missing.
      Trophies, I believe can be transferred but your friend needs to sync them with their PSN account. To do this your friend needs to display their trophies. Then press the Options button on their controller. From the menu choose Sync with PlayStation Network.
      One suggestion, you don't need to "disable" your friends account on their machine, he/she should be able to continue to use his/her account when they are not playing a game that you are sharing with them. Instead you will just be demoting their account to be a secondary account on their PS4.
      Also I would recommend that if your friend has any game saves, before doing anything on their PS4, make a backup of all their games data. Friendships can be lost if you accidentally lose someones saved games.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this video.
    I’m planning to take the dive and read the comments section with the issues that may arise. I’m going to be the Main sharing my games and PS Plus with a friend, my main concerns are the following:
    * You advise us to keep our primary account on our own PS4 to avoid further complications, but I read elsewhere that we have to deactivate our PSN account on our PS4, then have our friend activate our PSN account as the primary PS4 on their console. Am I missing something here?
    * If we follow the above, does it then not work as vice versa, like our friend has to deactivate their primary account on their PS4, then we would have to activate their account as the primary on our PS4?
    * You suggested that we create a PSN account on our console for the person we are sharing with, Person A create Person B PSN account on Person A PS4, and vice-versa. Since we each already have our own accounts, can we not send out an invite by adding a “Family Member” to it? By creating a new account, does it not wipe out everything associated with the account we already have, like trophies and friends list?
    * Will my friend be able to play online with other gamers outside of the person they are gamesharing with?
    * Do you recommend to keep gamesharing between 2 people? Is there a limit to how many family members/friends can benefit from this?
    Thanks in advance.

    • @mydoodads
      @mydoodads  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi k popper
      Thats a lot of questions so here goes:
      * You advise us to keep our primary account on our own PS4 to avoid further complications, but I read elsewhere that we have to deactivate our PSN account on our PS4, then have our friend activate our PSN account as the primary PS4 on their console. Am I missing something here?
      Answer - I think the Sony’s implementation of GameShare is really intended for Parents so they don’t have to buy two copies of a game. The technique we show in the video for game sharing is based on the concept that family members (ie siblings) are game sharing in the same house. So in theory that family will purchase a single digital copy of a game using the same PSN account on the same console. That single copy is then shared with the other console in the house.
      As both consoles are in the same house, its very easy to ensure that each player is sitting at a console that has their profile loaded. This in turn ensures that achievements and trophies are properly recorded to the correct players PSN profile.
      The reason why others talk about activating and deactivating PS4 consoles. Is because they are game sharing with friends who are not under the same roof. So if they were to use the technique shown in the video, each player will be playing out of someone else’s PSN profile. This means that their PSN account is not record their achievement and trophies, but the achievements of someone else.
      While there is nothing wrong with activating and deactivating consoles and accounts. It does really confuse and muddy a process that can be a little hard to get your head around. Hence, why the video was made in the way it is. I would recommend that only after both you and your friend get game sharing up and running on your consoles. That you then start to fiddle with the whole primary consoles issue.
      * If we follow the above, does it then not work as vice versa, like our friend has to deactivate their primary account on their PS4, then we would have to activate their account as the primary on our PS4?
      Answer - If you use the technique in the video, no one activates or deactivates PSN accounts on any console. However, you will be playing a game using your friends PSN profile, while they use yours.
      * You suggested that we create a PSN account on our console for the person we are sharing with, Person A create Person B PSN account on Person A PS4, and vice-versa. Since we each already have our own accounts, can we not send out an invite by adding a “Family Member” to it? By creating a new account, does it not wipe out everything associated with the account we already have, like trophies and friends list?
      Answer - No, just like a Windows 10 computer you can have more than one account (its really a profile) on your PS4. Your PSN account is cloud based so should automatically sync trophies and friends list. As your PSN account is a cloud based account it is actually quite hard to delete a PSN account. In order to delete your PSN account, you actually have to contact Sony and ask them to close the account.
      * Will my friend be able to play online with other gamers outside of the person they are gamesharing with?
      Answer - Yes
      * Do you recommend to keep gamesharing between 2 people? Is there a limit to how many family members/friends can benefit from this?
      Answer - A single copy of a game can only be shared with two people at a time. Also only one console at a time can log into a PSN account. The more people you try and add to game share, the more complicated you will make things for yourself. For example, “Which games will load if my console is set as the primary for person x”, or “Two friends has logged into their consoles using my PSN account which means I can’t play on my console” or “What happens if my friend gives my PSN account details to someone I don’t know?”
      Hope these answers help.

      As the scenario you describe is not something that I have ever tried. I would guess that in order to play RDR2 via Game Share on your console. You need to uninstall your store purchased copy of RDR2, and then install the digital copy from your friends account.
      That would allow you to game share with him/her online. However, if you want to play RDR2 on your own, using your own profile...
      Maybe, by inserting your RDR2 disk into your console, it might validate that you have a legal copy of RDR2 and allow you to play the digital copy of the game.
      Personally I would not take the risk based on a maybe from some random TH-camr.

    Ok; I''ve tried to carefully follow what was said here, but I'm not quite sure how this works in my situation, so I hope you can help. I have just purchased a new PS4 (pro)to eventually replace the aging one, which still works.
    I want to be able to continue to play all of the same (digital) games on both consoles with the existing profiles and accounts on both, but they will not both be logged in at the same time. Should I leave the original console as the primary, or change the new one to the primary, Or does it matter in this case?
    Can I simply log into the new console under the main original profile/ account and play the same games on it as if I were on the original console and would I have to set it (the new one) as primary?
    Would I have to log out of the PSN profile on one machine even with one machine off to be able to play under that profile on the other machine? I gues what I'm trying to do here and asking if I can do is essentially one-way game sharing.
    Also, what about game saves? If I log into the new PS4 under the primary account from the old PS4, will I be able to download the save games from that account (assuming I have them saved to the PSN cloud, which I do.)
    One last question: In this situation, should I simply transfer my data from old PS4 to my new PS4? Does that cause any problems with being able to play the same games on each system independently?
    I'm just trying to figure out what the best solution is in this situation.
    Thanks in Advance for your help.

    • @mydoodads
      @mydoodads  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As a rule, your PSN account will not allow you to be connected to two different PS4 consoles if they are both switched on and connected to the internet. However, as long as only one of your consoles are switched on at a time, you can load/use your PSN profile onto either of your consoles.
      You can either backup your game saves to your PSN account or copy them to a USB storage device - th-cam.com/video/BXViwTP4PRo/w-d-xo.html Then simply transfer your game save data to which ever console needs that data.
      In order to game share, you have to create a second PSN user account for your old PS4. This new user account needs to be configured on both, you’re old and new consoles. As your Pro will be your primary console when you game share, you need to log into the Pro using the new user account you created on your old PS4. On your old PS4 you need to log in with the PSN account from your PS4 Pro.
      When buying games from the PSN store. To avoid confusion and potential problems downloading and playing games using game share. Make sure that you only ever buy your games from within one PSN profile. I personally, set the console I most use as my Primary, and then make all online game purchases via my main PSN account and that primary console.
      Transferring your data from your old PS4 to your new PS4 will not cause problems, but depending on the game, you might need to copy more data than just the game saves.
      I think this covers all your queries. Have fun with the new PS4 Pro.

      It will if you want to play a game online with a friend. However, I can't see any FAQ on Sonys website that confirms that you can not share a game purchased from the PSN store with a friend, when both parties do not have a PSN subscription. If you do try, let us know if it worked.

      Yes, I just tested this by disconnecting my PS4 from the Internet and firing up BattleFront 2. The Campaign works but the online stuff is all greyed out. However, you might need to connect the PS4 to the internet from time to time. This is so it can update the Firmware or patch games.

      Hi Fritosax, Game sharing is completely legal and you will not get banned. However, there are a couple of different options you can choose from. To give you some information on the other share options take a look at this link www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/ps4/features/share-play/
      I would suggest that if you are planning on using the Share technique shown in the video, that you only share with "true" friends i.e. people you completely trust. This is because you will have to share PSN account details.

    Hi there, so we were just starting to do this but seemed like we might have done it wrong. Me and my boyfriend wanted to play games together at the same time. My account was the one that has all the games. Now I wanted to play games with him hence i have him logged into my account and activate his console as the primary console for my account. While on my console now has his account and i marked my console as his primary. However, the digital games were still locked when I go to others username (aka his account) unable to play. So I tried to go into my account (not primary console) just to see and the games were fine to play as long as he didn't log in my account on his side I think. Can you tell me what we did wrong because I cant play the game with his username? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance.

      Hi Natalie
      Sony did not make the process of game sharing simple, but I think the issue you are having relates to you changing your PS4 from being the Primary console for your PSN account. So lets try and check list what you need to do:
      1. On your PS4, your PSN account should be the primary account
      2. On your boyfriends PS4, his PSN account needs to be the primary account
      3. The games that you have purchased on your PS4 are digital (Game share only works with digital games)
      4. You have created a PSN account for your boyfriend on your PS4
      5. Your boyfriend has created your PSN account on his PS4
      6. You have logged out of your PSN account on your PS4 (Its important that you both log out of your accounts and not simply switch accounts.)
      7. Your boyfriend has logged out of his PSN account on his PS4
      8. Your boyfriend now logs onto his PS4 using your PSN account details
      9. You log into your PS4 using your boyfriends PSN account details
      10. Now download the games you want to play together from your PSN account onto your boyfriends PS4
      11. Play some games.
      Hope this helps.

      @@mydoodads I really appreciate your quick response to my enquiry. I am not sure but along the way we probably did something wrong with the steps. Basically we did all those steps; however, they were a bit out of order. My boyfriend mistakenly logged me in as guest and had not mark his console as primary under my account but was downloading the game already. (I was not sure if that would be the problem and if it were then what could we do to fix it). Right now, we could only see or play the game if either me or him had my account and activate the console as primary. If not the games would show up as "locked" sign. We tried everything, still not working..we kept trying to the point my boyfriend was worried Sony would ban us for doing so. Another thing I was hoping you could clarify, from your post to me, did you mean in order for us to play game together, he should have my account on his console as primary while I have his account on my console as primary? (Because my boyfriend understood it the other way around, whereas we would still have our consoles as primary for our own accounts). :( Sorry and thanks if you could help me out with this one.

    • @mydoodads
      @mydoodads  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I forgot to mention, that while game share works with most games. Game share is a feature that a developer can enable at their own discretion. So far I have not personally come across a game that can not be used in game share, but I mostly play first person shooters.
      The good news is that from the sound of your comment I think you are both really close to getting game share to work. I suspect that the sticking point is the whole primary account thing which has muddied the issue. So just to confirm, when it comes to setting up game sharing there should be no need to change the Primary accounts for either consoles. By this I mean, your consoles primary account should be your PSN account. Your boyfriends consoles primary account should be his PSN account.
      With game share you can only really share a game with one other person. You need to imagine that you have two (concurrent) licenses per a game. When you set a PS4 as your primary console, one of the licenses is assigned to the hardware of that console. As you own the console and the game license, when you create a guest account on your PS4 that guest can play any of the games that you have installed on your console.
      If you visit your boyfriends house, and create a guest account for yourself on his console. When you log in, with your PSN account, you will be able to download and play any of the games in your Library. This is because you are using your second game license, which is directly linked to your PSN account but not your hardware.
      So in order to play together. Your boyfriend has it the right way around in that your console needs to be set as your Primary. While his console needs to be set as his Primary. The important part is which accounts you are logging into consoles with. If you are at home, you need to log in to your console using his PSN account. Your boyfriend, will have to log into his PS4 using your PSN account.
      I think I may have repeated myself a little bit... sorry but hopefully this as clarify things a for you.
      If you have another go at Game share let us know how you get on. ;)

      On the console which you get the error message “cannot use the content. This content can be used only by the following users, who have a license for it. If you want to use the content , purchase it from the PlayStation store”
      Use your primary account, the primary account is the account that you purchased the game with. Then your Primary console, the console you used to download the game on. Log out as the primary user, and log in with the secondary user account that you created.
      Hope that helps, because the whole process is confusing until you do it a couple of times.

      -from your primary PS4 (the one used to purchase the games on) login with any other account
      -play together
      As you have to give the person you are sharing your games with, your PSN account details, and they would have to give you their details. This method of game sharing is not something you would do with strangers.

      So, yes, on your console you will play using your friends profile, while they use yours.
      This is because the game was purchase on their console, which is why they set that console as their primary console. As they purchased the game, when they use their profile on your console, the game will play.

      Not necessarily. With Game Sharing as long as your friend has access to your profile, they can download any game that you have purchased, to their console.
      However, in order to play a game that you purchased they have be logged onto their console with your profile. This means that your friend can any save game progress to his profile.
      As two consoles using the same profile can't log in to the PSN network at the same time. To get the game you purchased to work for him, your friend might have tried and set his console as the primary for your profile.
      As your console is no longer the primary for your profile, I think... but I have not tested this so its a theory. When you try and load Madden from your console with your profile. It won't load until you reset your console to be your primary PS4 again.

      Check if your friend is online when you try and switch accounts. If they are logged in on their console when you try to log in to your console with their account. That would explain why the log in attempt fails.

      I think thats where your problem is.
      As long as the console your friend has, is registered as his primary console. When you log in as him on your console. You should not be setting your console as the primary console for his account.
      If you set your console as the primary console for your friends account. You are telling the Sony copy protection system that your friend has a new console.
      This means that when your friend tries to do certain things from his console, he will have to revert his console back to being the Primary console for his account.
      This in turn will cause problems on your console as any given account is only allowed to set one console as its primary console.
