Log in with your username and password , unless you don't have a PlayStation Network account. Then you have to configure one from scratch in [Create an account]. You can also skip this step and do it later from the [Settings] menu as explained below:
- Go to [Settings] of PS5 .
- Click [Login].
- Select the [Users and Accounts] option.
- Choose [Account] and click [Login] .
- Select [Create account].
- Enter your personal information such as date of birth, region or language.
- Finally, enter your email address and password 2 times to confirm.
It is important to log in with your own profile to buy digital games, take advantage of your PS Plus subscription, or simply to play those titles that are linked to your PlayStation Network account . However, you can have many gamer profiles without an account, but they can access the games installed on the console. You can also create guest profiles that will be automatically deleted when you log out.
After logging in, PS5 informs you how to protect your account, as the user session will automatically open when you turn on the console. From the configuration of the PS5 itself, you can set a password for other users who use the same console or request a password to make purchases. This will prevent other people from having access to these actions without your consent. If you have more questions about managing these accounts, deleting users or activating two-step verification , you have the following guides available.
