It’s no secret that the days of exchanging game discs with your friends to play new titles are long gone, considering most games today are digital-only downloads. And if you’ve a non-disc version of the PS5, it’s impossible. However, game sharing isn’t extinct yet. This is because Sony does allow players to share their PS5 games with friends digitally. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Unlike the traditional method of sharing physical discs, Sony’s digital game sharing relies on two features—Console Sharing and Offline Play. These settings let you share your PlayStation Network (PSN) account with someone else, allowing them to access your purchased games, as well as some PlayStation Plus perks.
However, it is important to mention that you can only share your console with one other person at a time. Plus, this method works only for digital games.
Sharing games digitally is pretty straightforward. Here is how:
That’s it. You can now share your games with your friends. To disable the feature, follow the above steps again.

Yes! As long as the non-primary console is connected to the Internet and logged into PSN, both players can play simultaneously.
