We have our own accounts, I would be using my account on my Digital edition and she would be using her account on the disc version, I just wonder if licenses can be sorta shared since she plays my PS4 digital games on her account. I know she CAN (if I'm on Ps4 and she's on PS5), but I'm not sure if the same rule applies when we're both on PS5s.

Sorry mate. I can't in good conscience do that right now, not until the PS5 has some way to play Legend of Dragoon. In the mean time, I fear you could experience only disappointment and I don't want your first impressions with the console to be negative.
Hynad said: It should work the same as with the PS4. You set the PS5 your sister uses as your primary PS5, which will allow her to use your games already installed on it (you might have to set your family management for that, I’m not sure), and you then use your second PS5 in your room. As long as you’re logged in with your PSN profile, you have access to your games library on any console. I am doing this with my son for my two PS4s, and it has worked without any issues for us. But I haven’t yet tried it on the PS5 since I currently only have one and it will take a while before I get a second one. Ha ha. |
I assumed as much, but that's a huge investment (of both time and money as well as effort and stress) only to find out that it can't work that way. I figure if I make the Disc-based one (the one we all share) my 'primary' one where I allow all users to play my games, then get the Disc-based one as the 'secondary' one that doesn't share licenses but also won't have anyone else's login, it SHOULD work as best I can tell. Honestly, the fact I'm even considering this in the current climate with how little money I'm making shows just how much I've enjoyed the PS5 thus far.
I didn't have this problem with the PS4 or Switch because when I got them I wasn't sharing consoles. I didn't have my sister living here and my roommates back then had little to no interest in console gaming (or had their own PS4/Xbone). Considering how hard it is to get a Ps5 I almost feel bad for trying to go for a second one, but at the same time, at this point I'd be struggling as much as anyone else to get one. I camped all morning the day preorders went on sale to get a PS5 so I damn-well earned that. Now I am in the rat race.
My only solace is knowing that the digital consoles aren't as in-demand, I don't think.
