How to share digital games on two PS4

Thus, PlayStation 4 allows digital games to be shared by those who have two Playstation 4s in different places or who want to provide access to their library of PlayStation Network video games to family or friends, giving the option to buy games on the PS Network halfway so that both users can download them on their respective consoles ; yes, in that case the game will be associated with the main user's account . Let's see how to share digital games on Playstation 4.

All this is possible thanks to the PS4 options to share games with the same PSN account , with one console being the main one and the other the secondary one. To configure two consoles in this way we must go to:

1. Settings
2. Accounts administration
3. Activate as your primary PS4
4. Activate
   

Thus, if we already had another Playstation 4 console with the same PSN account, that console will become the secondary one . From that moment on, both consoles will share a PSN account, from games to personal data such as balance or purchase options; Obviously, we must follow these steps only with people we trust.

How to Share PS Plus Games on Two PS4

You can also share games PS Plus between two PS4 with different accounts through l crossing accounts, allowing two users with different accounts can play the free games for PS Plus each month, even with their own files independent save.

Let's take as an example that a PS4 has a main account set up with PS Plus and we want another PS4 of another user to be able to download the PS Plus games with its own account. To do this, each of the users must go to the other PlayStation 4 and configure their account as the main account , making their own account on their PS4 as secondary ; in short, a cross between the two Playstation 4 accounts.

Once the process is completed, the user without PS Plus will be able to activate the user's profile with PS Plus on his console and download the PS Plus games at no cost, as well as the games from the library of the other PS4; once downloaded, you can switch to your profile and continue playing those games, with your own save files and trophies.

Of course, there is a drawback; both users cannot connect and log in at the same time , as doing so will disconnect the other's child profile. The only solution is to have a compatible schedule and for one user to be able to play on their PS4 when the other cannot on theirs.

If we want to stop sharing our account with another Playstation 4 we must follow several steps to avoid problems with our PSN user. Thus, the first thing that we must be clear about is that if we play our digital games on another PS4 other than ours, we will have to manually load the saved games to our online storage or otherwise we will lose the advances, since they are not saved from automatically. For this we must go to:

1. Settings
2. Management of the saved data of the application
3. Data saved in system storage
4. Upload to online storage
   

Thus, when we return to our PS4 we can download the saved games on our console through the same route.

On the other hand, if we want to stop sharing our PSN account with another Playstation 4 that is not ours and thus prevent another person from logging in with our user on their PS4, we must delete our user on their console manually. For this we must go to:

1. Settings
2. Users
3. Delete user

On the other hand, if we only want to log out without deleting our user from that console, the user of that PS4 will not be able to access our account either. For this we must go to:

1. Settings
2. PlayStation Network / Account Management
3. Sign off
