How to Game Share on PS5 QuicklyWhat are the Benefits of Game Sharing on PS5?Are Remote Play and Game Sharing Related?Be Aware!

Sharing? Gaming? Together? Yep! Although it’s hard to believe nowadays, we live in a time of miracles, allowing us to game share on our PS5. Plus, you can allow anyone who, for some reason, wants to borrow your precious gaming time and use it as their own to sign in to your console remotely. But don’t fret, because you can also sign into their system and play their games even when this fictitious person is offline. Two can play at that game, eh? Well, anyway, here’s how to game share on your PlayStation 5.

How to Game Share on PS5 Quickly

PS5

So, the quick answer is to go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other, and then you’ll need to select Console Sharing and Offline Play. After that, your friend, buddy, significant other, or whatever else will need to sign into their PS5, and then you’ll have access to each other’s game libraries on each other’s consoles.

What are the Benefits of Game Sharing on PS5?

PS5

Back in ancient times, more specifically before the advent of digital media, gamers had to share scratched discs just so they could play each other games and save files. But that is no longer the case, because if you’re only doing it with one other person at a time, they can start something like a Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA playthrough right where you left off, possibly after the first chapter. What’s even better, though, is this feature runs both ways, so you can get further in a game and then have someone beat a demanding boss for you or vice versa.

Are Remote Play and Game Sharing Related?

PS5

At the risk of getting a bit off-topic, we wanted to cover all our bases by answering this question that we suspect many people have. And no, remote play and game-sharing are not the same because of one straightforward answer: remote play allows you to play PS5 games on something like a phone or Macbook, and game-sharing allows you to share games with another person on a PS5. See? It’s simple. Hope that helps!

Be Aware!

PS5

Everything in this article has been beneficial, for sure. But before we go, we wanted to let everyone know that enabling game sharing on a PS5 will give the person who benefits from it full access to your payment methods, trophies, and pretty much everything else. So, keep that in mind if you’re protective of your gaming accomplishments.
