Hi Everyone. Just thought i would share what PS support have told me regarding if you want someone else in your house to have access to your old PS4 on the same PSN as yours. If you are using the same PSN you can't play PS4 games at the same time on both the PS4 and PS5! And even if you have a sub account under your PSN (like a chid account for your kid) then YES you can both play PS4 games on both consoles at the same time BUT your kid will lose all the gamesave data and any progress in games like Fall Guys or Fortnite. So in effect they will start the games from scratch! Not ideal. At times like these i miss the old memory cards from the PS1...
