Can I online-play a game purchased on one account when logged into another account set to a different locale?
On my PS4, I have one PSN account with my location set as India, and another account with location entered as United States. I have a PS Plus membership on my 1st account but not the 2nd account.
When I log into my PS4 using the 2nd (US) account I can see all my downloaded games and able to play them online (even though no PS Plus membership is used). My question is: if I purchase the game through PS store from 2nd account will I be able to play online if I logged in using either account?
Best Answer
Yes
For games, 'Main' or 'Secondary' accounts can buy/download it and the game will be available for all accounts on the same PS4 system. With any account you download the game, you'll be able to play it on every account of that same console (no matter where it says it's located).
What you can't do is buy the Plus subscription on a secondary account, because it will only work on that account and on none other even on that system.

Sony allows you to share your games with a player on a different PlayStation 4 \u2014 which means you and a friend can play the same game together even if only one of you owns the game. PS4 supports both game sharing and Share Play \u2014 but they're slightly different features.How do I play the game I bought digitally on the same PS4 on more accounts?
Yes, you can. To do this, the account that bought the game must set the second PS4 as its "primary" PS4. ( Settings --> PSN --> "Activate as Your Primary PS4" ) Anyone on the second PS4 will be able to play games that your main account has downloaded to it.Can you transfer PlayStation purchases to another account?
You can't transfer items bought on one account to another, but you can access those items with another account, as long as those are already installed on the same console.How to switch Game Center account to start new progress on games
