Step 1: Set Up Your Primary PS4
The first step is to set up the primary PS4 console. This will be the console where the PlayStation Plus subscription is initially purchased or activated. Follow these simple steps:
- Power on your PlayStation and log in to your account as the primary user.
- Go to “Settings” in the main menu.
- Select “PlayStation Network/Account Management.”
- Choose “Activate as your Primary PS4.”
By setting your console as the primary PS4, your account’s PlayStation Plus benefits will be accessible to all other users on that console.
Step 2: Add Other Accounts to the Primary PS4
Now that your primary PS4 is set up, it’s time to add other accounts that you want to share PlayStation Plus with. Here’s what you should do:
- From the main menu, go to “Settings.”
- Select “User Management.”
- Choose “Add User.”
- Select “Create a User” or “Add Existing User.” If the user already exists on another PS4, choose the latter.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the user account setup.
Repeat these steps for each user you want to share PlayStation Plus with on the same PS4.
Step 3: Enable PlayStation Plus Sharing
With all user accounts added to the primary console, it’s time to enable PlayStation Plus sharing. Here’s how you do it:
- On the main menu, select “Settings.”
- Choose “PlayStation Network/Account Management.”
- Select “Activate as Your Primary PS4” again.
- Click on “Activate.”
Enabling PlayStation Plus sharing on the primary console ensures that all added user accounts can access the PlayStation Plus benefits without needing a separate subscription.
Step 4: Enjoy Shared PlayStation Plus Benefits
Once the steps above are completed, all user accounts on the primary PS4 console will enjoy the shared PlayStation Plus subscription benefits. These perks include online multiplayer, free games, exclusive discounts, and more.
Remember, the account holder with the PlayStation Plus subscription must remain signed in on the primary console for others to access the shared benefits. If the primary account is signed out, the other accounts won’t have access to PlayStation Plus features.
Sharing PlayStation Plus on the same PS4 is a fantastic way to make the most out of your subscription. By following this easy guide, you can seamlessly share the benefits with your gaming buddies or family members without any hassle.
