Finally, You Can Upgrade Your Sub Account to a Master Account on PSN

That recent bout of maintenance may have been worthwhile after all, as Sony has announced that you can finally upgrade sub accounts to master accounts on the PlayStation Network. This has been a source of frustration for many for several years, as those that created usernames when they were under the age of 18 were forced to deal with various restrictions – even if they'd successfully transitioned into adulthood.

Previously, the only way to update your account was to create a new one, losing your username, friends, and, importantly, Trophies along the way. Now, however, you'll be able to transfer everything across to a master account, meaning that you'll no longer miss out on any of the PSN's features – and all of your Platinum trinkets will remain intact. Sadly, you can only complete the process on a computer for now, but support for the PS4 is to follow.

You can find out how to upgrade your account through here. This seems like a positive first step for us, and we hope that the ability to change usernames isn't far behind. Have you been stuck on a sub account for several years? Rejoice in the comments section below.
