PSN Sub Accounts now upgradeable to Master Accounts

4.6

PlayStation Network users are now able to convert Sub Accounts to Master Accounts.

Sony Network Entertainment VP Eric Lempel announced the much-requested feature in a post via the PlayStation Blog.

"Starting today, PlayStation Network (PSN) users will gain the ability to upgrade a sub account to a master account," he said on Thursday.

"We're always listening to user feedback, and this is a feature that many of you have asked for. You'll be able to upgrade an account first through the web and later through PlayStation 4."

He went on to confirm: "Your profile will be carried over when upgrading to a master account, along with items like your friends list and Trophies."

Sony has posted instructions on how to carry out the process here.

Mwdz they could lower the price to change the name or even allow spaces aswell for extra cost

Yep, spaces are a must. Never understood why they didn't put it in, underscores look bad

This feature sounds cool, But the downside of it is the price.

DPM Perhaps they should listen to a lot more feedback, they might then know that there are a lot of people who want to change their PSN ID.

Exactly. I'm happy with my PSN ID but I'm worried that in the future I might want to change it. This is a much needed feature for many people.

They could probably even lower the price for ID changes instead of having it ad 10 bucks.

Can someone explain to me the master account stuff ? What's the difference thanks.

Kankles Maybe PSN should listen to the community and let you be in an offline status. Also, exactly what does this mean? 'Master account' and 'Sub accounts' are foreign to me.

Master accounts are accounts with the age 18+ and Sub accounts are split into two categories (Both for under 18's) Child Account and Youth Account. They have certain restrictions on both, can see them on the PlayStation website.
