PS4: Account Sharing - how to play with friends

By sharing data, games and content with your friends, you can ensure that you work together on a project. The advantage of this is that you not only share experiences, but also make progress together. In doing so, account sharing is very simple.

PS4: How to share your account

You don't need to have experience with technology to share your account with friends.

1. Start your PlayStation 4 as usual and open the settings in the menu.
2. Select "PlayStation™Network/Account Management" and open the associated menu.
3. You will now see an overview of your options and must select the variant "Activate as primary PS4" from it.
4. Now your friend can access your Playstation in the primary state. This means that he can download all games, DLCS and game saves to his Playstation. For this, an active WLAN connection is the prerequisite.
5. Once your friend has downloaded everything, he should download the licenses of the content to be able to play without any problems.
6. To do this, he must open the account management in the settings and select the item "Restore licenses" there.
7. Je nach Anzahl der heruntergeladenen Inhalte kann dieser Vorgang einige Minuten in Anspruch nehmen.

Lohnt sich das Account-Sharing?

Der Vorteil ist, dass Sie gemeinsam Spiele anschaffen können. Dadurch reduziert sich der Preis enorm. Gerade bei Neuheiten liegen die Preise meist um die 70 Euro und hier lohnt sich das Teilen mit einem oder zwei Freunden finanziell.
