OSO account and PS Plus question.

DigitalRick · December 2018

I might already know this answer but need to ask anyway.

I have a PS Plus account and my wife plays ESO on her own account and it appears because I have an active PS Plus account she can connect to ESO via my PS Plus account. Obviously I also can play ESO. My question is can we both play at the same time on separate playstations if the second playstation also has an active PS Plus account (my sons playstation)??

Um. I'm going to say you should put in a support ticket about this. Anything anyone tells you here (peer to peer as it were) could get you in deep trouble. I can see why you want the answer to be yes....

But get the real answer from support.

I'm pretty sure that PS plus is connected to your account, so it stands to reason if you use your account on another console you should be able to play with it:) just have to download the game again. I think I understand what you were saying:)

You can use your account in your son Playstation as it is one that have ps plus and it can only be primary for one PS. Primary PS other users can play your purchased games or ESO plus service etc.

In terms of you both using PS Plus at the same time, absolutely yes. For ESO specifically, it depends on if you're using discs or if you downloaded the game from the PS Store. Not a problem with discs but I'm not 100% sure with a download. I'm tempted to say you can, tho. I know I've played with someone else at home, but I have an old physical copy as well as the downloaded one so might have used that.

Thank you all very much. My wife owns a physical disk. I planned on purchasing the digital download under my PS Plus account. I figured it would work as long as there as an active primary PS Plus account on each of the PS4's. Since the game is on special now I'd only be out $10.00 if it didn't work so I think I'm gonna give it a shot. My son comes home from college on the 14th of December so I can update this thread after that date with a yay or a nay.

You actually wouldn't even need two PS Plus accounts. Everyone that uses your primary PlayStation has access to Plus and you can still use it yourself on your own account on a secondary console.
