However, there have been rumors swirling that Playstation is going to stop or has stopped the game sharing, is that true? Game sharing is still allowed on Playstation consoles as of now but since the release of the PS4 they have reduced the number of Playstations that can share a game from five consoles down to two.
This significant restriction is solely aimed at people who share their games with a bunch of friends which of course cuts down on the sale of the games. If game sales continue to suffer because of the sharing then Sony could certainly remove the sharing entirely in the future.
Game sharing has been passed down on many different models. However, recent developments show that Sony has disabled blatant game sharing with large amounts of people. Previously, game sharing was offered by Sony as a feature that could help share games with family and friends- where buying multiple copies would be, frankly, ridiculous. However, with reports of misuse, an investigation proved that people were taking advantage of this feature.
Because they had a cheaper option, the number of people who used the download store to buy games was reduced drastically. When game sharing was actively allowed, you could share games with up to 5 consoles without a problem. This meant that five different people could use your account on their consoles and download the same game that you had already purchased for free. However, with the Playstation 4, you can only use your account on two consoles- your primary and non-primary.
This feature is intended for you to access your games on another console by logging in, rather than to game share. However, with its console activation feature, you can let someone else use your account to play your games or even download them onto their console without being considered in violation of the terms of service.
Yes, you can still game share. The removal of game sharing has barely squashed the spirits of gamers. People game share every day without it turning into a big deal.
Here's how:. You might need to deactivate your own PS4 console, but don't worry, you can reactivate it. Now player two will see all of player one's games in their library and they'll be available for download on your PS4 hard drive. On the Invite Players screen, add the friend you want to start a party with by searching for them, or select them from your friends list.
Follow the instructions and choose Send Invitation. Select the friend you want to share your game with from your list. After they accept your invitation, your game systems will link and the minute session will start.
After the session expires, you can immediately restart another session and pick up where you left off. The person you're Share Playing with will be able to see your screen as well as talk to you if you're both playing with microphones.
After you're in a session together, you can also let your friend try out the game. This feature allows you to share your PlayStation library of titles with friends and family, potentially saving you a ton of cash. This walk-through will teach you how to gameshare on PS4.
In the simplest terms, it allows you and another person to connect your libraries of games purchased on the PlayStation store and to access them collectively with fewer restrictions attached. Finally, select Activate. You may need to deactivate your own PS4 console as the primary console to do this.
If you are exchanging access to your digital game libraries, have your friend or family member complete steps 1 through 4 on your PS4. Because of this and the incredibly intimate nature of account sharing, we highly recommend only sharing gaming accounts with family members and trustworthy friends.
Once your new console is updated and ready to go, you can redo the above steps and set up game sharing again.
