like most of you know, the sharing of your downloads was possible with a friend on your PS3 as long as he had your PSN Log In Username and Password.
They tried to remove this feature from the PS4 but it´s still possible with a small trick. There are Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- share games with friends while buying them just once
- let your friends tryout a game you just bought
- save money by sharing the price with friend
- "2 copies" for the price of one
Cons:
- you only can share with one friend at a time
- you can only play your digital games while you´re connected to the internet and to the PSN, that means no playing while there is PSN maintenance
- no other users on your console can play your games (but they can play your friend´s games)
- your friend has access to your account anytime
Setting it Up:
It´s quite simple to be honest, but i recommend you to do this only with a trustworthy friend so he won´t abuse it:
Step 1:
Deactivate your PS4 as your primary system in the PSN settings (settings => PSN => set as primary system => deactivate)
Step 2:
Add another user on the PS4 of your friend with whom you want to share the games
Step 3:
On the new user log in to the PSN and set the PS4 of your friend as the primary system of your PSN account
Step 4:
Your friend can now start the downloads of your games with your account and play them on his own account (he can start the download and change back to his main account and the download will still continue)
Step 5:
Feel free to do the same with the PSN account of your friend so both get something out of it
Undo it:
To undo it you just need to deactivate your PSN account on your friends PS4 and delete it
