A few days after the release of PlayStation 5 in our country, planned for the next 19st November, Sony revealed that the next-generation console will retain one of the most popular features of the PlayStation 4, namely "Activate as your primary PS4“, Only it will have a different name. For the uninitiated, this feature allowed players to share their game library digitally, even using different accounts, simply by setting the console as the main one.
On PlayStation 5 this feature will be called "Console sharing and offline gaming"And will offer users the same service offered by"Activate as your primary PS4“, Allowing multiple players to access the digital content of an account, even if the device is not connected to the Internet. Furthermore, according to what emerged from the Stevivor website, only a PS5 can enable console sharing at any time, but the feature can be activated or deactivated at any time by the owner. Accessing the feature is also quite simple. To get there, just follow these simple steps:
- Go to settings
- Users and Accounts> Other
- Select Console Sharing and Offline Play
- Choose Disable or Don't Disable.
Furthermore, Sony has made sure that console sharing does not interfere with the main PlayStation 4 in any way, so anyone who plans to play both consoles, using the same account, can do so without the worry of always having to activate this feature. . But that's not all, according to what emerged from an accurate analysis by Eurogamer.net, the next-gen console of the Japanese company would be very more energy efficient compared to the previous PlayStation 4 Pro, consuming just 1,3W in idle mode with all its features enabled, compared to PS5 Pro's 4W.
