As previously mentioned, we now have a PS5 in the household. My handicap is that I have no experience with modern consoles, so I therefore have a few questions. Basically, we have multiple users, each with their own controller and PS account, and I haven’t entirely figured out how games, saves, and purchases work.
If offspring A buys a game, can offspring B play it? (Are the games/purchases tied to the console or the user?)
If offspring B plays a game, will his progress/savegame only be for his user?
PlayStation has a feature where each account has a “primary console”. Games that are purchased on an account can be played by that specific account on any console, or can be played by any account on the primary console.
Everyone plays on the same console? Great, that should be everyone’s primary console. So offspring A buys a game on their profile, offspring B can play it.
If offspring A goes somewhere and logs into their account on another PS5 console, offspring A can download and play their game, but no one else can play it on that other console.
If offspring B plays a game on their account and creates a save, offspring A can’t log into their own account and mess with offspring B’s save.
