Wondering how to assign a primary PS5 console? Game sharing on PlayStation 5 can be done pretty easily if you understand the process, but it isn't the most intuitive system – so having a guide such as this to hand will get you up and running in no time. Your first port of call is the Console Sharing and Offline Play option within the Settings menu, so follow the instructions below for how to get there and everything else you need to know to enable PS5 game sharing.
How to set up PS5 game sharing
The good news is that PS5 game sharing is still possible, though the option is a little hidden and the wording has changed somewhat. Now, instead of setting a particular console as your primary PS5, you enable Console Sharing and Offline Play instead. To get started, go though Settings > Users and Accounts > Other and select Console Sharing and Offline Play.
This next screen then lets you activate PS5 game sharing for the console you are currently using, by enabling Console Sharing and Offline Play, though if this was the first PS5 you signed in on then it should already be turned on as standard. Whichever system you enable Console Sharing and Offline Play on, that will be able to run your games without being connected to the internet, though on any other PS5 you'll need to be signed in online to access your library.
