Can you please reply as soon as possible? I bought a game online and the guy gave me acc and said i can only play on it, and absolutley not to make it main on my ps4, do i do it ?
@@o5-148 aka if I decided to take your account off of my playstation and you did the same what ever game I got from you and whatever u got from me we do not keep it.
No problem! Enjoy playing games with your Grandson :) Also, if you want to see a full PS4 Vs PS5 comparison with performance tests, graphics comparisons, the controllers etc etc then check this out: ua-cam.com/video/SRL-vy3ybIY/v-deo.html. The video is sort of underperforming right now and I spent days on it so I'd really appreciate the watch, thanks! :D
On his PS4, make sure you are putting in the right email address for your account, and the right password, then vice versa with his on yours. This is because you are inputting something incorrectly, even if you believe it is correct.
Same here. I’m here for my cousin he’s going through some hard times so I wanted him to enjoy some of the games I play to help me get through life🙏🏻💯💪🏻.
Hi Cory! Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PlayStation, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's console as your primary. Then on your own system, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PlayStation as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. Hope it helps! :D
So I gameshared with my dad. Do I have to wait for him to fully download the game before activating my account on my PS4? Or wait for him to download till complete?
Enjoy this video? Did it help you out? If it did please make sure to drop a like and consider subscribing for more Playstation guides and discussions! Thank you!
@@someonesomwoi3728 You have to use the account that purchased the game and that was either mine or my brothers. One of those accounts is my bros, one is mine, and 1 is one i just use to showcase things. So this still wouldnt work. Youd have to have whichever account bought the game
It won’t work for me I deactivated my account and went to his account and activated it and it said cannot activate this system as your primary ps4 your account already has another system activated as your primary ps4 to activate this, deactivate your other system any help?
Sounds like your friend has his PS4 set as his primary. He needs to deactivate that then you can activate your ps4 as his primary and get all his games.
@@official_dkstudios you can’t, if you change your account as your primary on your PS4 your friend will no longer be able to play the game they downloaded
this reminded me of when playstation made a video called "How to share ps4 games with your friends" because xbox didn't want people to buy used games or share their games. They just showed someone handing a game to someone else lol
Hahaha yeah that was pretty funny! Cant believe the XB1 launch was that bad that it got Sony that cocky. Thankfully next gen is looking to be a lot better. That video was hilarious though 😂 I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope it helps you 😊
You forgot to mention that on the PS4 where the account isn't activated as primary. The player can only play the shared game on that specific account. Right ?
I logged into my friends account, activated his as primary, installed fifa 21 off his library and once installed on my account it says “cannot use content. Only the following users who hold a licence for this content can use it. If you want to use the content, purchace it from PlayStation Store.”
Thanks! :D It's the PlayStation Player Celebration theme that people got who took part in this event thing a little while ago. I hope the video helped you :)
Hi Caden K! If the games are locked it means that account is missing the license so double-check the following: -The account that owns the game, owns it digitally and is on the PS4 you want to play the game on with that PS4 activated as that account's primary. -You have an Internet connection. -You have restored licenses on both accounts on both PS4s. If you check those things and the games are still locked, then this means the account you are trying to get the content from has a different PS4 activated as primary. Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PS4, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's PS4 as your primary. Then on your own PS4, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PS4 as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. If they are still locked after this, restore licenses on both your friend's account and your own account on both PS4 systems, then restart both PS4 systems and at this point the games should definitely be unlocked if you did all this correctly. Hope it helps! :D
I have two PS4s my son plays one of them how can I play my other PS4 when my son is playing with the other PS4 it has all my games on the other PS4 the one he's playing how can I play my other one?
Hi! This is what this video is all about 😊 The first part of the video explains setting it up from the account sharing the games, then I explain how you can do it again, but the other way around so you both get each other's games. I hope it helps! 😊
If my friend deactivates his primary account so I can actvatite it on mine and download his games, can he still play all his games? Or will they be locked on one or both accounts?
Hello Spencer Williams! Changing primary consoles around, removing accounts from the console etc, could all result in the game becoming locked so just leave everything as I show in this video :)
Hey I have a question, do you you know if mw2 is game sharable on the ps4? cause my friend has mw2 on his acc but when I try to download it, it says I have to buy it
Hey! You will have to gameshare it, then your friend will have to delete warzone/mw from his PS4. Then he will have to go onto your account on his ps4 and make sure to download the multiplayer segment from the library. He cant just straight up install warzone as if he does that the multiplayer and singleplayer will still be locked. Hope this helps :D
Thanks man... I forgot to tell my partner to activate it as a primary PS4😂... Just wanna ask and hopefully you or other players answer... We still can control our main account that we gave to them right?
Question if I have a game I'm sharing with a friend he does everything you say once I log back on do I reactivate my account as primary or leave it deactivated
Once all of this is set up as shown in the video, leave everything exactly as it is, otherwise there might be some licensing issues and the games will lock and become unplayable for the account that doesnt directly own them.
Hey bro when I trie shame sharing with my brother I went through all the steps of makin him deactivate his as his primary so he can log in mine and make it his primary but it’s not letting him make it his primary it says can’t activate because another system has it activated as primary what do I do
Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PS4, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's PS4 as your primary. Then on your own PS4, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PS4 as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. Hope it helps! :D
Make sure you have followed the steps correctly and your friend has YOUR ps4 activated as HIS accounts primary, then restore licenses and restart both of your PS4s. Then see if the lock is still there. Hope this helps :D
When I do this we get each other's games, but I can't watch my hulu, netflix, ect on my ps4 cause it says its not activated as primary. So I get to share games/get games but lose out on my streaming services or am I doing something wrong?
It’s not working for me, I still get the lock on the games. I downloaded Fifa with my dad’s account on my Ps4, and his account is acctivated as primary on my ps4, but when I want to play the game with my account on my ps4 (not primary) i’ll get the lock logo. Could you help?
Hey! The lock will go off of Fifa when it fully releases - sadly the early access part of EA Access doesn't seem to work with gamesharing. The game should be playable for you the moment it launches properly.
yeah this confirms that this works by an official EA employee: answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Sharing-EA-access-on-ps4/td-p/8252657 It will unlock at release for sure! :D
hey bro, i’m having an issue here though. my friend has a little brother on his playstation 4 and all though we can both play the same games his little brother can’t play those games on his profile since they are locked. should he restore his licenses on that profile too?
You cant fix this sadly. Gamesharing means that only the user who owns the game on the PS4 not activated as primary can access them. He should be able to access any games you are gamesharing to that PS4, but not his brothers
1. Once your friend has downloaded the game, can you activate your PS4 as the primary again, or do you have to leave his as the primary? 2. Is their any disadvantages of not having your own ps4 as the primary
Hello Chilly! Changing primary consoles around, removing accounts from the console etc, could all result in the game becoming locked so just leave everything as I show in this video :) Only disadvantage is playing games offline is harder, and using the PS app to download games will not download them to your PS4. This is fixed with PS5 though as you can have multiple PS5s set on the app.
So do I have to have my friends account activated as primary on mine whenever I wanna play a game I downloaded of theirs already? And if so can they still play it even if their ps4 isn’t activated as primary?
Hey Lewis! You and your friend can play the game at the exact same time, yes, whether it's offline or online. :D Also, I just published a breakdown video of the PS5 UI, where I go over all the things Sony told us about, as well as uncover a load of secret parts of the UI they didn't directly mention, one of them perhaps being a Quick Resume feature. If you are interested in the PS5, I'd highly recommend you to check it out and I would really appreciate it if you could, as the video is underperforming right now :( Thanks so much! ua-cam.com/video/MIASiuyEeb8/v-deo.html

So after I deactivated my account as primary to let my friend game share I’m assuming all my games being locked will go away once I re-activate it as primary? And will my friends newly downloaded games turned to locked once I re-activate my account as primary?
yeah thats what will happen. You shouldnt reactivate yours as primary and your games should have only locked if they werent yours in the first place. You can only gameshare with 1 person
I have a question. When you download the game. If your friends signs in to his account will the game stop downloading and delete or will it be locked or will it still continue. Pls reply
For some reason, sometimes when I try to activate it, it says that “another user is activated”, but other times it lets me activate it with no issue. Do you know a fix to this?
Hopefully it’s this simple on the ps5 currently I’m on Xbox one and game sharing with my friend and I just wanted to see if ps4 game sharing was as simple as it is on Xbox and that seems to be the case, both my friend and I are mining to ps5 due to lack of exclusive games on Xbox 🤷♂️ plus Spider-Man enough said.
Yeah it is realy simple now. I really hope it is just as easy on PS5 as well, which I believe it will be. I will be making a video on how to do it if it is possible some point after the console releases :) And yeah, I completely understand why you would want to switch, hopefully xbox can start to make some true exclusives :D

Everything worked out perfect, except now when I go to play the game under my account it says that I need to buy it from the store and it's locked. How do I play it under my account?
Are you trying to do this via the site? You can only use that once every 6 months, so you will have to manually deactivate on whatever console your friend has currently got set to primary. Or you could try contacting PS support if that still hasnt worked.

It won’t work for me I deactivated my account and went to his account and activated it and it said cannot activate this system as your primary ps4 your account already has another system activated as your primary ps4 to activate this, deactivate your other system any help?
Sounds like your friend has his PS4 set as his primary. He needs to deactivate that then you can activate your ps4 as his primary and get all his games.
Can you download packs your friends bought?
idk how late i am or if you will reply but after, can i remove the account as primary or do i have to keep it as that?
I had the same question, if I could change my PS4 back to my primary and not my friends one
@@official_dkstudios you can’t, if you change your account as your primary on your PS4 your friend will no longer be able to play the game they downloaded
@@beaulieucharles-emile7460 thanks
Thanks so much wasn’t working until I restored license much love and a like
Thank you so much for this brother!
No worries!
Insane video as always 🔥❤ thank You this was helpful
Thank you so much! And no problem :)
this reminded me of when playstation made a video called "How to share ps4 games with your friends" because xbox didn't want people to buy used games or share their games. They just showed someone handing a game to someone else lol
Hahaha yeah that was pretty funny! Cant believe the XB1 launch was that bad that it got Sony that cocky. Thankfully next gen is looking to be a lot better. That video was hilarious though 😂 I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope it helps you 😊
literally just watched that vid lol
@@hasnaynakhtar737 LOL!
My bro this helped a lot ❤️❤️
You forgot to mention that on the PS4 where the account isn't activated as primary. The player can only play the shared game on that specific account. Right ?
I logged into my friends account, activated his as primary, installed fifa 21 off his library and once installed on my account it says “cannot use content. Only the following users who hold a licence for this content can use it. If you want to use the content, purchace it from PlayStation Store.”
Happening to me too
Otherwise
Mee too
Because it’s with the EA Access subscription. That isn’t game sharing.
Same
When u r both playing the games that u have shared, can u both be signed into your accounts at the same time
Yes
no
Thank you so much I watched like 10 videos but none explained what parts you have to do on there PS4 or you own
Brilliant. I have just bought my son a PS4 and this has helped me massively. Thank you 👍
can u gameshare me dude
The downside is that you can no longer play your games offline when you share them with your friend which sucks
hey man i followed the steps in this video but the game i downloaded from my friends account is locked, any way to fix that?
I'm having the same issue...
Any fix for that?
@@ghostlymile8377 you have to stay as secondary
Do I need to have ps plus for this process??
Hii do u need it ?

Thanks! :D It's the PlayStation Player Celebration theme that people got who took part in this event thing a little while ago. I hope the video helped you :)
hey can you plzz share your account with me?
Why after like a week of playing my friends games are they all of sudden locked? Did I do something wrong?
Facts bro it did the same for me 🤦🏽♂️
Hi Caden K! If the games are locked it means that account is missing the license so double-check the following:
-The account that owns the game, owns it digitally and is on the PS4 you want to play the game on with that PS4 activated as that account's primary.
-You have an Internet connection.
-You have restored licenses on both accounts on both PS4s.
If you check those things and the games are still locked, then this means the account you are trying to get the content from has a different PS4 activated as primary. Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PS4, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's PS4 as your primary. Then on your own PS4, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PS4 as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. If they are still locked after this, restore licenses on both your friend's account and your own account on both PS4 systems, then restart both PS4 systems and at this point the games should definitely be unlocked if you did all this correctly. Hope it helps! :D
One question: will this work ,if my friend is in another country?
Yes
With most games, yes.
I never knew someone else could still play online using my ps plus so they don’t need to get it too, learned something new thanks!
Does the In-game store for the shared game working?, Cause my friend shared me his account for Cold War but the store doesn't work at all
In-game cosmetics for cold war wont share
@@Octorious yeah I know it won't share, but the store is inaccessible
I have two PS4s my son plays one of them how can I play my other PS4 when my son is playing with the other PS4 it has all my games on the other PS4 the one he's playing how can I play my other one?
Hi! This is what this video is all about 😊 The first part of the video explains setting it up from the account sharing the games, then I explain how you can do it again, but the other way around so you both get each other's games. I hope it helps! 😊
If my friend deactivates his primary account so I can actvatite it on mine and download his games, can he still play all his games? Or will they be locked on one or both accounts?
Hello Spencer Williams! Changing primary consoles around, removing accounts from the console etc, could all result in the game becoming locked so just leave everything as I show in this video :)
@@Octorious or just go on the game every day for at least a sec
Hey I have a question, do you you know if mw2 is game sharable on the ps4? cause my friend has mw2 on his acc but when I try to download it, it says I have to buy it
I'm having the same problem
So how do I get my buddy’s multiplayer on modern warfare
Hey! You will have to gameshare it, then your friend will have to delete warzone/mw from his PS4. Then he will have to go onto your account on his ps4 and make sure to download the multiplayer segment from the library. He cant just straight up install warzone as if he does that the multiplayer and singleplayer will still be locked. Hope this helps :D

Quan Taylor idk I just ended up buying it
@@natecolvin24 noooo whyy? This method wouldve saved you that cash.
Octorious i had deleted my mw and downloaded it back on his account and it said it was still locked so I just went ahead and bought it
Thanks man... I forgot to tell my partner to activate it as a primary PS4😂...
Just wanna ask and hopefully you or other players answer... We still can control our main account that we gave to them right?
yes and yes :)
hey can you plzz share your account with me?
Question if I have a game I'm sharing with a friend he does everything you say once I log back on do I reactivate my account as primary or leave it deactivated
Once all of this is set up as shown in the video, leave everything exactly as it is, otherwise there might be some licensing issues and the games will lock and become unplayable for the account that doesnt directly own them.
It finally worked bless you I subscribed and turned on all notifications and left a like

U want to gameshare
?
@@kingkong-xf2lu no
I’ve never game shared so I was wondering would me and my friend be able to play the same game that we game share with each other at the same time?
Yes u will able to and u will able to use their PS4 plus if u don’t have it or they can use ur ps plus
When I do this we get each other's games, but I can't watch my hulu, netflix, ect on my ps4 cause it says its not activated as primary. So I get to share games/get games but lose out on my streaming services or am I doing something wrong?
Interesting...I haven't heard of this issue ever before. Go to settings>system>enable HDCP and make sure it is turned on.
did that fix the problem?
@@Nat3ThaGreat Yes it did!
can you play the same game together at the same time, for example cod? when gameshare is involved
I have the same question, please help us
So I’m order to play the game I downloaded of my friends, I need to keep his account as my primary on my ps4?
Yes.
So once my friend gets my games, if he makes his ps4 primary again, would and delete my profile all the games will be lost?
@@stephenyoung5349 I believe that the games would then be Locked
It’s not working for me, I still get the lock on the games. I downloaded Fifa with my dad’s account on my Ps4, and his account is acctivated as primary on my ps4, but when I want to play the game with my account on my ps4 (not primary) i’ll get the lock logo. Could you help?
Hey! The lock will go off of Fifa when it fully releases - sadly the early access part of EA Access doesn't seem to work with gamesharing. The game should be playable for you the moment it launches properly.
Octorious
Oh ok thanx! Yeah cause I have EA play with one account, but when i switch, it says I need EA play in that account too
yeah this confirms that this works by an official EA employee: answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Sharing-EA-access-on-ps4/td-p/8252657 It will unlock at release for sure! :D
Octorious when your friend buys the ultimate edition (with 3 days early acces) can you then also play 3 days ealyer?
Octorious, do I need to do this with my friends account or can he do it from home on his own PlayStation?
hey bro, i’m having an issue here though. my friend has a little brother on his playstation 4 and all though we can both play the same games his little brother can’t play those games on his profile since they are locked. should he restore his licenses on that profile too?
Same
If you game share with someone. The other users on the ps4 won't be able to those games. Only on yours
You cant fix this sadly. Gamesharing means that only the user who owns the game on the PS4 not activated as primary can access them. He should be able to access any games you are gamesharing to that PS4, but not his brothers
Thanks. This really helped me save a lot of money.
1. Once your friend has downloaded the game, can you activate your PS4 as the primary again, or do you have to leave his as the primary?
2. Is their any disadvantages of not having your own ps4 as the primary
Hello Chilly! Changing primary consoles around, removing accounts from the console etc, could all result in the game becoming locked so just leave everything as I show in this video :)
Only disadvantage is playing games offline is harder, and using the PS app to download games will not download them to your PS4. This is fixed with PS5 though as you can have multiple PS5s set on the app.
@@Octorious Hi mate, I did remove all my non main accounts from my console but left my main, will this still work now?
@@mojobluez did it sork
So do I have to have my friends account activated as primary on mine whenever I wanna play a game I downloaded of theirs already? And if so can they still play it even if their ps4 isn’t activated as primary?
i got the same problem
Am so happy mine work out through kelvin_h4ck on IG
Hello, will me and my friend be able to both play the same game at the same time?
Yes
Hey Lewis! You and your friend can play the game at the exact same time, yes, whether it's offline or online. :D Also, I just published a breakdown video of the PS5 UI, where I go over all the things Sony told us about, as well as uncover a load of secret parts of the UI they didn't directly mention, one of them perhaps being a Quick Resume feature. If you are interested in the PS5, I'd highly recommend you to check it out and I would really appreciate it if you could, as the video is underperforming right now :( Thanks so much! ua-cam.com/video/MIASiuyEeb8/v-deo.html

Can u gameahare Madden 21 with me?
So after I deactivated my account as primary to let my friend game share I’m assuming all my games being locked will go away once I re-activate it as primary? And will my friends newly downloaded games turned to locked once I re-activate my account as primary?
Exactly what happened
yeah thats what will happen. You shouldnt reactivate yours as primary and your games should have only locked if they werent yours in the first place. You can only gameshare with 1 person
You have to deactivate on the ps app
Worked for me
Unlocked on both me and my mates account
You are The best
I have a question. When you download the game. If your friends signs in to his account will the game stop downloading and delete or will it be locked or will it still continue. Pls reply
Itll carry on downloading :)
thank you do much
For some reason, sometimes when I try to activate it, it says that “another user is activated”, but other times it lets me activate it with no issue. Do you know a fix to this?
How to fix it you have to make sure your friends account isn’t activated as primary on there ps4 or someone else’s .
@@777_kevv3 Ahh alright thanks!
You can only share with 1 person? Not multiple?
Hopefully it’s this simple on the ps5 currently I’m on Xbox one and game sharing with my friend and I just wanted to see if ps4 game sharing was as simple as it is on Xbox and that seems to be the case, both my friend and I are mining to ps5 due to lack of exclusive games on Xbox 🤷♂️ plus Spider-Man enough said.
Yeah it is realy simple now. I really hope it is just as easy on PS5 as well, which I believe it will be. I will be making a video on how to do it if it is possible some point after the console releases :) And yeah, I completely understand why you would want to switch, hopefully xbox can start to make some true exclusives :D

Are you trying to do this via the site? You can only use that once every 6 months, so you will have to manually deactivate on whatever console your friend has currently got set to primary. Or you could try contacting PS support if that still hasnt worked.

Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PS4, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's PS4 as your primary. Then on your own PS4, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PS4 as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. Hope it helps! :D
@@Octorious it says I need to wait 6 months
I can’t download moderwarfare
When I go onto my friends account after I set it as primary on my ps4 and it says that he hasn’t bought moderwarfare and also there are only 3 addons showing up which are the multiplayer addons and when I download them it does nothing so I’m kinda stuck idk what to do now
hey! Leave this 24 hours or so, and then try again. It seems some parts of PSN, including this function, are currently under maintenance which is probably causing this issue.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Why can’t I play on my account while my friend is playing on his ps4 Cold War
You should be able to. Make sure hes playing it on his account on his ps4 and not ur account on his ps4
@@Octorious When I want to play Cold War it says I still need to buy it?
there’s a lock in my friends account what should I do?
Hi Bruh K! If the games are locked it means that account is missing the license so double-check the following:
-The account that owns the game, owns it digitally and is on the PS4 you want to play the game on with that PS4 activated as that account's primary.
-You have an Internet connection.
-You have restored licenses on both accounts on both PS4s.
If you check those things and the games are still locked, then this means the account you are trying to get the content from has a different PS4 activated as primary. Go to id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/#/p/device_management/ and sign in with your account, and then also your friend's account. On both accounts, you will want to click "Deactivate all systems". Then on your friend's PS4, sign in to YOUR account, and as shown in the video, activate your friend's PS4 as your primary. Then on your own PS4, sign in to your friend's account, and activate your PS4 as your friend's account's primary, as also shown in the video. If they are still locked after this, restore licenses on both your friend's account and your own account on both PS4 systems, then restart both PS4 systems and at this point the games should definitely be unlocked if you did all this correctly. Hope it helps! :D
So, after I do this and get my friend all the games I have, can I activate my ps4 back as primary or will he no longer be able to play all the games I shared when him?
Nah u can’t change it back u need to keep ur friends PS4 as ur primary
Hello Lucipher28! Changing primary consoles around, removing accounts from the console etc, could all result in the game becoming locked so just leave everything as I show in this video :)
