My friend got ghost and I set my ps4 as primary but how does he set his to secondary it won't work for him and he is on the account he bought it on
once u activate his account as primary on yours and he activates your account on his it will be fine!
if games are locked log out and back it and it will unlock

Nice tutorial. Once you download the games and you set the primaries are you still required to be online to play? Just curious if there was an Internet outage which happens a lot around here.

You can play your friend's games offline, he will have to be online to play his though (and vice versa with you and your games).

Reason being is when you make your console your friend's primary, it's like he brought his console over and you are playing it. However since his console is licensed to you, it will be like he is playing his games on your console (hence why the online checks are required).

Okay that makes sense. Thanks for the answer.

You need to be on the account to get the Gold in the first place.
yea but on xbox you can share the gold if the other person keeps renewing their account by doing the my home xbox thing which is basically the same thing as the ps4s primary system thing that they have

Hi.
I have 2 accounts on my ps4, one is my main psn account and the other is used to make purchases from the US psn store. If I were to give my US account (with the downloads) to a friend would I still be able to play the games on my own main account? Or would I 've to start using the US account as my main?

You'd need the US as your main I believe.
