Activate PS4 as the primary system - how it works
You can activate your PS4 as the primary system in the settings. This will connect the game console to your PSN account. You can find out how to do this in this practical tip.
Activate PlayStation 4 and connect to the PSN account
Most of the time, your PS4 system will already be activated when you download certain content from the Playstation Store. However, this does not always work. Therefore, you can also activate your PS4 manually:
- After you have logged in with your user account, press up on your directional pad or left stick.
- Here you move the cursor all the way to the right and open the "Settings".
- In the next window choose "PSN".
- Then press "Activate as your primary PS4". Now you just have to press "Activate" and your PS4 system is already connected to your PSN account.
