Console gaming has evolved to newer heights where players no longer need to own physical copies of the game and can share with any of their friends easily. The gameshare feature that was first seen in the PS4 era, has been simplified and made even better in Sony’s newer generation console Playstation 5. Unlike the previous gen, you can freely download and share the entire library of your owned digital games with your friends or family, provided they’re using the same console. It is one of the best ways to experience the games that you’ve missed out on playing digital games that your friend or family owns on their console. The exciting part about this feature “Console Sharing and Offline Play” is that it doesn’t require the other party’s PS5 to be online to do so and will offer you access to the entire library.
