How to enable console sharing and offline play on PS5 Pro?

The new PS5 Pro went live on November 7, 2024, and has started shipping to customers who pre-ordered it. Like the standard PS5, the new Pro console also supports console sharing and offline play.

It allows you to play games from your friend's PS5 Pro library on your PlayStation without purchasing them separately. Your friend doesn't even need to keep their PlayStation for this to work. That's the benefit of console sharing and offline play, but it may not be enabled on your new PlayStation 5 Pro.

This article will explain how you can enable console sharing and offline play on the new Sony console.

Console sharing allows you to share your favorite games with your friends or family members. It should be enabled by default when you log into your PlayStation 5 Pro with your PlayStation account. However, if you used that account on any PS5 console earlier, it won't work.

That's because you can only use console sharing on one PlayStation at a time. Therefore, if you previously used the same PS account on a PS5, console sharing was already enabled there. You must disable this feature on that game console before trying again on the new PlayStation 5 Pro.

Here's how to disable console sharing and offline play on PS5:

Go to Settings and select System.
Next, go to Users and Accounts and select Other.
Now, visit Console Sharing and Offline Play and click on the Disable button to remove that feature from the old console.

That's it. You can enjoy console-sharing settings and offline play on PlayStation 5 Pro.
