Two PS5s - Game sharing
-
Hypothetical-if I got 2, PS5 - How does this console sharing and offline play work? If I put the Show 21 on PS5 in the basement, how would I also play on one upstairs? Would I have to DL the Show 21 on both consoles, and keep backing up save data to the cloud, and then DL it? I don't fully understand how this sharing/offline works. If I had same user on both PS5, how does that affect?

You have the main account on the first ps5 that you have ps plus and the show. You Then put another account that you want to use on the 2nd ps5 on the first one. Then on the 2nd ps5, you add user and add that account and then you have to download the game on both consoles. You will have both ps plus and the use of any game you have purchased from the main account on the 2nd one.
I hope that makes sense. All the saved data from DD is saved on the server but everything else is saved to your ps5 so each ps5 will have the saves there.
If you need anything else, lmk, I can help, I do this on mine and my son's

Great thanks. So add an account/user name on the PS 5 with the main account, lets say PS5 Main. Then on the other PS 5, let's say PS 5 secondary, I already I have my main account and I add that same account or user I did on the PS5 Main. Yeah that's what I want, so my son doesn't hog the PS 5 lol

Yeah thats exactly it. The only drawback to it is that whatever game you purchase, you only get the pre-order bonus for that main account its bought on, not the other

Ok. If I have a account for my son a "child account", can I just use that same one on the PS5 Secondary? Or do I need to add a totally new user account. I really appreciate the help.
