Can I have two PlayStation 4s, two accounts and still only use one PlayStation Plus subscription?

Here is an example:

PlayStation 4 #1: PSN account name: Jack

PlayStation 4 #2: PSN account name: Harry

Jack has PlayStation Network Plus, Harry does not. Jack confers his PlayStation Network Plus benefits to Harry, who has access from his own console, so they can both play online.

Is it possible to have two PlayStation 4 consoles, using separate accounts, with the same PlayStation Plus subscription?

Best Answer

It's possible for non-Plus accounts to share Plus benefits (including online multiplayer) on a single PS4 console. However, the scenario you're describing, where one user can confer Plus benefits to an unrelated account on a different console, is not possible.

Can you use same PlayStation Plus on multiple accounts?

No. You can only share your games and PlayStation Plus benefits with accounts on one PS5 console with Console Sharing and Offline Play activated and your primary PS4 console.

Do both accounts need PlayStation Plus to play online?

Any game in PlayStation Now can be played online without an active PlayStation Plus membership. You can think of this as an extra perk of a PS Now subscription. However, if you want to transfer your PS Now game saves from console over to PC for whatever reason, you will need a PS Plus membership to do so.
