So, you just got your PlayStation 5, bought a game, and created accounts for your kids—now you’re wondering how they can play the game without purchasing it again? Good news: PlayStation allows you to share your games with family members using the "Primary Console" feature and Family Sharing.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to make it happen!

1. Set Your PS5 as the "Primary Console"

To allow other accounts on the console to access your games, you must set your PS5 as the primary console. Here’s how:

1. Log into your PlayStation account (the one that purchased the game).

2. Go to the PS5 settings:

Navigate to Settings (gear icon in the top-right corner of the home screen).

Select Users and Accounts.

Go to Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play.

3. Enable Console Sharing:

If it’s not already enabled, select Enable.

This allows all other users on the console to access your purchased games.

2. Add a Child Account (If You Haven’t Already)

If you’ve already created accounts for your kids, you can skip this step. Otherwise, follow these instructions:

1. Go to Settings > Family and Parental Controls > Family Management.

2. Select Add Family Member.

3. Follow the prompts to create a child account.

4. Once the account is set up, switch to your child’s profile.

3. Play the Game on Your Child’s Account

Now that your PS5 is set as the Primary Console, your child should see the game in the Game Library when logged into their account.

If the game doesn’t appear automatically, go to the Game Library and check Your Collection.

Your child can then download and play the game, even if your account is not active on the console.

4. Check Parental Controls

If the game is rated for an older audience, your PS5 may block access due to parental controls. To adjust these settings:

1. Go to Settings > Family and Parental Controls.

2. Select your child's account.

3. Modify the restrictions based on the game's age rating.
