Can you play downloaded ps4 games with another account

To do this, the account that bought the game must set the second PS4 as its 'primary' PS4. Your main account can still download and play its games on any PS4 by simply signing in and downloading them, so setting the second PS4 as your 'primary' one won't change anything for you on the first PS4. I will only have one unit on at once. Now how do I do this? Launch the app after installing it and sign in with the same PlayStation Network account you use on your PlayStation 4. Tap the PlayStation Store icon at the top left corner of the app.

Your PS4 will automatically download them. This process works the same on the website as it does on the PlayStation app. So this is the situation: My brother received a PS4 on his birthday. Based on what I've read on the FAQ, any user can play my digital games and do online gaming since I activated the system as my primary PS4. A friend offered his account so we can play his digital games.

He has a primary PS4 activated. Improve this question. If you download gta V on his ps4, any account can play gta v on the ps4 were it's downloaded and installed as long as the account which own GTA V is logged into PSN which means you'd have to log into that account and save the PSN password to auto login — Nitro.

Ah, I failed to read your comment. This answers my question on my comment on your answer. Thanks a bunch. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Other users on the system can also enjoy some PlayStation Plus benefits from that account, even if that user is not logged in.

Limitations: This method of sharing only applies to digital games and apps. Registering your PS4 as your primary system will allow other users who play on the same console with different accounts access to any games you've downloaded without you having to log in.

Additionally, if you have PS Plus and register a PS4 as your primary console, then every account that plays on that system will be able to make use of certain benefits like online multiplayer even without their own PS Plus subscription.

If you want to play on another PS4 that isn't your primary console, you can download any game you've bought on the PS Store as long as you sign into PSN. Only you'll be able to start the games you've downloaded, and you can only be logged into two consoles at any one time: your primary PS4 and one other secondary one like a friend's.

The good news is there's no limit on the number of systems you can download your games to. You have to be logged in in order to play, but from the sounds of things this means you can share digital games with as many mates as you like, though only one of these secondary consoles will be able to play a title at any given time and you'll have to tell them your password so they can log in.

As has been mentioned before, the situation with discs remains the same as ever.
