Video Games Borrowing a PS4 Question

Pointer19 · 11-28-2016, 06:07 PM

Hey media lovers,

I'm borrowing a friend'a PS4 for the next few nights and want to play Battlefield online. He doesn't pay to play online. Anticipating getting a PlayStation in a few weeks for Christmas (or buying one if not), what's my best course of action? If I log into and subscribe to PS Plus on my PSN ID, will that credit the account and allow it to play online for a year, or will it credit the console?

Happy gaming

I believe that it credits the account and not the console.

You can get a two-day free trial. Or, at least I did.

Everything should be tied to the account rather than the console. Think there is a 14 day trial as well so you may not have to subscribe for the year just yet.

Its account based. I have alt accounts on my PS4 that I use for games when I just want to drink beers and fuck around without being afraid of jacking up my rankings.
