Sharing PlayStation Plus benefits with child family members

Child family members are able to subscribe to PlayStation Plus using funds from their family manager’s wallet to pay the recurring PlayStation Plus subscription fees (within the child's set spending limit).

Alternatively, if you are a family manager and you share a console with child family members, you can subscribe to PlayStation Plus and share some of the main benefits of PlayStation Plus with child family members on one PS5™console and one PS4™console. 

Please note that child family members can only access content through PlayStation Plus that is age-appropriate (according to the age rating of the content). Child family members will only be able to access age-appropriate content based on parental controls set by the parent.

Can I share PlayStation Plus with a friend on another console?

No. You can only share your games and PlayStation Plus benefits with accounts on one PS5 console with Console Sharing and Offline Play activated and your primary PS4 console.
