Playstation 5 - having more than 1 and accounts. Fortnite
Discussion
Hi all,
Need some help... bare with me.
We have a PS5, I am the primary account holder. My son has a separate login on the same PS5 (a child's account) so that he can play Fortnite.
He's done well at school recently so we are rewarding him with his own PS5 (Fortnite bundle, with PS code).
Trouble is, how do I get his Fortnite account to work on the new PS5 please as it is already linked to the one that I use in a different room? for something so simple, it seems to be difficult as I believe you can't have the same account on 2 separate PlayStations.
Any help much appreciated!

Hi,
You can use the same account across multiple PS5s, one PS5 will be listed as the main one for that account, but you can still sign in on the other using the same account as a guest. With a PS Plus account It's possible to play a game on one and then sync game progress to the cloud and then import it on the second PS5 later.
I'm not sure how the account in question being a child account affects this though. When you set the new PS5 up just follow the prompts and it should guide you through it.

many thanks. I will use the same log in details on the 2nd PS5 and hope it works.
Regarding child account... completely agree! I thought I was doing the correct thing, being sensible and putting correct age as 12 etc. What a nightmare! Cant redeem gift cards.. needs permission for literally everything. I with I had put it as an adult account, lesson learnt.
