SharePlay On Playstation 4: How To Share FIFA 23

  1. Your friend buys FIFA 23 for full-price from the PlayStation Store. It has to be from the online store, not as a physical copy. You can then split the money with your friend.
  2. You are on your own account, and you don't own FIFA 23 yet. Now press the PS Button longer, and then go to "Change User".
  3. Here you can click on "New User" and "Create a User", log in with your friends details.
  4. Now go to your own account again, and go to "Account Management" via "Settings" and then to "Activate as your primary PS4" and click on "Deactivate" if it is not already deactivated.
  5. Now go to your friend's account and go to "Settings" and "Account Management". Also go to "Activate as your primary PS4", but now click on "Activate", this is really important!
  6. It is also important that your friend's PS4 is not set as the primary PS4, but that it is deactivated. Otherwise, you could get an error message.
  7. Now go to the library in your friend's account. Here you can see all the games that your friend has bought under "Purchased". There, you then click on FIFA 23 and download it.
  8. Once it is downloaded, you can switch to your own account, and then you will see that FIFA 23 has been downloaded to your account.

It's important to note that if your friend bought the Ultimate Edition on the PS Store, for example, you can also share the game, but only your friend gets the Ultimate Edition, and you only get the "normal" version of FIFA 23.
