Sushant Vasishta Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I got the launch time PS4 and opted for two years India PSN Plus account. I had an absolutely terrible experience - no AAA games, no discounted season deals as well. I am not sure if I should get PSN plus however contemplating if I should create a US PSN Account. They really have great deals, almost always. Is there a way I can have two psn accounts on my PS4? Don't want to loose my trophies. No biggie though. Is there any tradeoff? If I move to US PSN? Heard that there are challenges with DLCs. Any help here would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman™ Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 You can have as many primary accounts you want on PS4(limited to 100 afaik) If you move to US PSN plus ,the games from Indian PSN plus which you got earlier won't be renewed unless and until u renew the PS Plus subscription Almost all IGC is same except around 1 or 2 in whole year. But US PSN always gets nice sales. Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 ^What he said Also anything you buy and download from US PSN can be played on the Indian PSN ID so you can keep earning your trophies on Indian PSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all the games downloaded from IN plus will not work if I subscribe for US plus account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can google for confirmation. Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctavish93 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The us psn sales are way better than eu store , just last week got myself nfs 2015 for around 6$ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushant Vasishta Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 This clearly tells me that I should create a new PSN US id and throw away my India PSN account. Would the saved games work fine if I copy over the game save files to a USB drive, login to the new US PSN account and then try to restore the save files from the USB drive. Other than this, except for few platinum trophies, I don't think I'll be losing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mctavish93 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 No bro save files dont carry over .they are account specific , only the game you purchased on us psn can be played from indian psn account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sushant Vasishta Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yeah man rut now until dawn is available for 8$ right now , thinking of buying it tooExactly what made me think of moving to US PSN. BTW can't I have two accounts? One Indian and ONE US on the same PS4. I can login to India account, if I need to play games bought there and login to the US account if I want to play the games bought from the US STORE? I understand that I won't be able to cross play but that I guess is a smal trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have UK, India, Hongkong and US on my ps4 and I buy games depending on which region its cheaper on at that moment. My plus account is UK since 2011. Once the game is downloaded you can play it on any account on that PS4. No need to get rid of your indian account. E.g buy games from US store, download and play on indian account and continue earning trophies there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll simply create a US PSN account, buy some games and then shall be good to go. Pretty cool. Thanks buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushant Vasishta Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ok got my PSN US account reinstated (hadn't used it since my PS3 days). Now two accounts on the same machine. Apps working on both accounts. Thanks guys. I also found that there are two Netflix apps on the PS4. One for the US and one for India. Weird!

Clenched_Balls Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 AFAIK games purchased only from the primary account can be played on all accounts on that PS4. If you purchase the game on any other account on that PS4, it's accessible only through that account, unless it's a physical copy (or free to play) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1shabh Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi, I have physical copies of games. Using US PSN membership and US account as primary, will I be able to download DLC and patches then? is DLC restriction across region only limited to games bought digitally?
