PS5 / PS4 At Once? Two players, one Username?

[Gaz]

I've finally managed to track down a PS5 which is getting delivered later on.

Given its backwards compatibility I don't have much use left for my PS4. I was gonna stick it in my daughter's room. She likes playing The Sims and the Lego games.

Currently she just plays it on my User ID so has access to my library (PS Now, PS Plus).

If I stick it in her room and make her own User ID she'll lose access to them.

So my question is, can she play the PS4 logged in as me at the same time I'm on the PS5 logged in as me?

Pretty sure as long as you don't try to play a PS4 game on the PS5 at the same time as she is logged in on the PS4, it should be fine.

You can also make another PS4 user/PSN account on the same console for your daughter to use. She'd still have access to whatever was on the console and could even play online, but if she wanted to download anything from your account she'd need to use that user to access it.

Do the game share process, im not 100% sure how it works from ps5 to ps4 but it can work and essentially allows her to play all the games on your account on her own account,
