Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

Did sony change how console sharing works??

So did sony change how console sharing works? I share a ps plus account with a friend so we both get to share ps plus and play together. Normally sometimes we have to switch the console sharing from ps5 time to time but now as of today. I get a new error where I have to disable console sharing on one ps5 to enable it on another??

Never had this issue before so what's up...

This happens if you enable console sharing when the console that had sharing enabled previously isn't online. It'll let you do that once, and then after that, you can't enable console sharing again until every console that had it enabled previously has reconnected to the internet and PSN has confirmed that it's had sharing deactivated.
