there so many infos about that so i cant really get it... primary / secondary acc and download at unlimited consoles etc.

My question - would this work:

- We are 2 persons
- We both have seperate accounts (we wouldn't use them for sharing)
- Create a new blank PSN Account
- Buy PS+ for it (for playing Online Multiplayer)
- Buy games over the PSN+ Account
- Add this account to our both PS4s
- Download over both PS4s the games from PSN
- Play simultaneously the games over our REAL SEPERATE Accounts (not over the new account were we bought the PSN items)

some infos say this wouldnt work cause you need to logged in?

maybe someone knows better?


thx!

Yeah mate took me a bit to get my head around it but I've finally copped it.

Primary account means you can play every game downloaded from that account on that particular console. Even if you have 20 separate accounts.
If you login on a friends PS4 you can play your downloaded games on your account but if he logs into his account he cannot play your downloaded game.

I have this issue with my boy. He'll be getting a PS4 in the new year, at the time I will give him my PS4 (my primary account) and I'll take his PS4 (his primary account) and therefore we can play each others downloaded games on the other console.

Hope this makes sense!

you & a friend trade account info.

you activate your console with his profile as home !

he does the same vice-verse , now you split the cost of games and both can play them while *online.

Not the same as PS3.
Each of them would have to make the other the primary account holder of their own console.

right you have to make the one with the psn the main account.

Step1: You and your friend each get a ps4 and set it as your primary
Step2: Swap ps4's and login as a secondary account.
Step3: Both you and your friend have access to your own and your friends psn games.

Also only 1 of you will need PS+ and both will have access to it.
