Both my girlfriend and I play on the PS4 at home, so there are 2 profiles on PS4. When we set our profile in PS4, we set the console as the primary console.
Now we want to buy PSN Plus subscription, and I want to know if the same subscription can be used in both profiles, or only in one.
In case the same subscription can be used in both profiles, how can we set it up? Or is automatic?
Best Answer
If the main thing you're concerned about is online multiplayer, then yes, all accounts on a single PS4 can play online if at least one if them has an active PS Plus subscription, and that PS4 console is set as the PS Plus account's "Primary PS4."
From Sony's FAQ:
PlayStation®Plus benefits available to other non-subscribing users on your Primary PS4™: - Online multiplayer (subject to any parental control settings on sub accounts) - Play downloaded games purchased with PlayStation®Plus discount - Play downloaded IGC games
PlayStation®Plus benefits not available to other users on your Primary PS4™: - Purchasing PlayStation®Plus discounted products from PlayStation Store - Online game save storage - Auto patch download - PlayStation®Plus exclusive early access to game trials

Answer 2
Subscription to PS-Plus is linked to your PSN account, which means that you will only be able to access the features of PS+ on the local playstation account linked to that PSN account.
You will have to buy 2 subscriptions, or just use the same profile as your Girlfriend.
