Hi folks,
Wonder if someone could help with the following query / frustration. I’ve searched various blogs and threads but can’t find a clear solution, really appreciate someone’s time and expertise:
my set up:
I have one PS5 Console, with one main PSN account registered to myself. I then have three further users profiles added to the console.
I added the additional users several months ago (when I got the console) and ‘believe’ I probably added them as quick users (none have a PSN account etc). Up to now this has worked really well. I’m the main user along with one of my kids. Everyone has use of the games I’ve purchased or downloaded and none of us play online.
Our favourite game has been Hogwarts Legacy. My kid has been wanting the Dark Arts Pack which today I purchased and downloaded. Works fine on my user profile but when switching to theirs, the DA pack is not present. We’ve both completed the main story line of the game so don’t believe it’s to do with something not being unlocked in the game progress.
Previously I accessed the Hogsmead extra level via the voucher code that came with the game (physical standard copy), that worked on both our user access points to the game with no probs (ie me on my account user and theirs on their PS5 user profile).
Until now I thought DLC, once downloaded onto a game that other users already have access to, would be available for all.
Being a child they don’t have an email address so setting up a new PSN account isn’t possible unless we do that as well and in any event, it feels like it should be easier than needing to do this? I see there’s a family manager setting but it feels like perhaps that’s what I should have done originally, and concerned if I do that now they’ll need new user profiles and will lose their progress on several other games (which they’re a long way into) not to mention all their trophies etc.
Hoping I’ve either got a setting wrong somewhere that someone can kindly point out, or I can now set up a family user and allocate this to their existing user profile (thereby maintaining its player history etc).
Apologies if it’s a dumb question with an obvious solution, I’ve spent ages looking and although I can find several references to this scenario I can’t see an actual clear solution.
Really greatful for advice. Otherwise a very happy PS5 user with a set up that is otherwise perfect. I’d just love to share the DLC of this game.
Thanks all and Happy New Year.
PS currently loving Outer Wilds. Also a great game!
