Ps4, buying game from another account

I wonder.

If I have another friends account on my ps4, and I buy a game from the ps store from his account on my ps4.

Who will pay for it? Me or him?

ps4 psn

Best Answer

Your friend will pay.

The only way to buy stuff on the PSN is either through a credit card or prepaid funds. Both are registered to your account to allow you to use them on other PlayStation consoles you may own, such as PS3, PS4, PSP, or PS Vita.

Also keep in mind that you won't be able to use whatever "you" bought if your friend's account is removed from your PS4.

Can you play PS4 games bought from another account?

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 I purchase a game on one account and then access it from a different account on the same console on PS4?

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).

Can I purchase a game on one account and then access it from a different account on a different console?

Even though you can leave a game installed on another person's console, they will not be able to play it unless they also own the game. Instead, they'll be prompted to insert the disc or purchase a digital copy. Each Xbox console must have either a digital or physical copy of a game.

Can I purchase a game on one account and then access it from a different account on the same PS5 console?

Once you've enabled game sharing, your account on the other PS5 can also play the digital games the other person owns on that system. Furthermore, if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription, you will also share it with them. Related: Physical Games vs. Digital Games: Which Are Best to Buy?
