Two PS store accounts with same priviledges, but cannot buy game on one of them

I'm trying to buy The Elder Scrolls 5 on my son's account which has no restrictions set. I can find the game in the PS store under my account, but not on his.

We have a PS4 with my account as primary and his as secondary. We do not have PS Plus, but I don't see why that would matter - with no restrictions we should both have access to all the games.

Is your son's account was set up as sub-account (Family account)? Because if it's so, that's default setting (Perhaps, based on age).

You can change it so your son can see everything in the store, step by step:

Go to https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/ , log in and click Account.
Click on Family Management on the left.
You'll see a list of family members that are tied to your account. Click on your son's account.
Click the Edit button next to Age Filtering for Online Content. Set it to Off (or whatever you prefer to) and click the Save button.

After that, your son's account should see everything (or contents based on setting).

Can two PlayStation accounts play the same game?

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.

Can I use PlayStation Plus on 2 accounts?

As you may have guessed, the long answer to the question is yes. You can connect multiple accounts on a single console, no need for two separate PS+ accounts at all.

Can you have 2 PSN accounts on one PS4?

As long as the PS4 is set as the primary console for whichever account subscribes to PlayStation Plus, other PSN accounts on the same console can play online multiplayer, play downloaded games purchased with a PSN discount, and play the free monthly games available to PS Plus members.
