PS4 FAQ clarifies sharing digital games, PlayStation Plus benefits
Designating a primary console also unlocks several other features, including Remote Play on Vita and the ability to purchase and pre-order content via the PlayStation App and have said content automatically download to your PS4. The FAQ also states that once you've chosen a primary PS4, "you can use up to 2 systems concurrently: the system activated as your 'primary' PS4 system, and one other system."
The FAQ also claims that, if a primary console is registered to an account with a PlayStation Plus subscription, there will be "numerous benefits" available to other users on that system, such as access to online multiplayer. The PlayStation Plus-holding account does not need to be logged in to utilize this feature.
The PS4 FAQ doesn't specify what other benefits for secondary users PlayStation Plus offers, or if the features mentioned will be enabled with the PS4's day one patch. Maybe Sony is saving that answer for FAQ Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

OmittingCoder Not hating on this or anything since I mainly play on PC but the 360 has this already. It's cool their adding it to the PS4 but it's not something they should be showing off.
there are dedicated sony fans though that refuse to go to xbox so this is a +1 for them

Glad that they've done this, even if Xbox have it already this is a good feature and I'm sure it'll make PS4 even better, well it will.

Lavish I was kinda expecting something like this from the PS4.
Would be disappointing if it wasn't a feature.
I agree. All systems should have this in my opinion.

Why not? They should still be allowed to tell people about what they are adding to the next gen.

Caszech Great feature, should turn out as a good way of doing this.
Yeah, I agree with you. It's certainly a great feature that they did.
