The PlayStation 5 is packed with incredible games, but sharing them with friends can be tricky in the digital age. Fortunately, the PS5 offers a convenient feature called “Console Sharing and Offline Play” that makes gamesharing a breeze. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s a great way to enjoy your friend’s library or let them try out your games.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up gameshare on your PS5:
1.
Log in to your PlayStation Network account on your PS5.
2.
Navigate to the Settings tab:
From the main menu, click the Gear icon located between the magnifying glass and your avatar.3. **Select “Users and Accounts.”
4. **Scroll down and choose the “Other” option.
5. **Select “Console Sharing and Offline Play.”
6. **If the option says it’s enabled, you need to select “Disable.” This is necessary to initiate gameshare.
7.
Log out of your PSN account on your PS5.
8.
Log in with your PSN on the console you want to gameshare with.
9.
Navigate to the same menu and select “Don’t Disable” in the “Console Sharing and Offline Play” menu.
10.
Log out of your PSN on this console.
After the person you’re gamesharing with logs back in via their PSN account, they’ll have access to any of your compatible games on their PS5. It’s important to remember that you can only gameshare with one other person at a time. If you decide to share with someone else, you’ll need to disable gameshare on your original console and repeat the process.
The great thing about gameshare is that it works both ways. This means you’ll also have access to any of the games in your friend’s library. No more swapping physical discs! So go ahead and enjoy all the exciting titles coming out on the PS5 – share the fun with a friend!
