How to activate a capacity account on PS5

After purchasing a virtual account, many people don't know exactly how to activate it on their console. In this article, we'll explain the steps in detail and simply.
The feature that makes this possible is officially called "Console Sharing and Offline Play" — what was previously called "Primary Account."
Activation steps
First, sign in to your PS5 with the account information you received from MAZE.
After logging in, go to the Settings icon (the gear in the top right of the home screen).
From the Settings menu, select Users and Accounts.
In the left menu, click the Other option.
Select the Console Sharing and Offline Play option.
Finally, tap Enable (or Activate as Your Primary PS5) and confirm.
After this step, all games purchased on that account will remain available to you both online and offline on the same console.
A few important points
Each account can only be active as Primary on one console; if you want to make the account Primary on another console, you must first deactivate it on the previous console.
If your console already has another account as Primary, you may need to deactivate it first.
Activation usually requires an internet connection (even if you intend to play offline), as Sony's servers need to confirm the change.
If you encounter a problem during activation
If you get stuck at any stage or receive an error message, just contact MAZE support (via the site's live chat or Telegram) — the support team is always available to help you solve the problem quickly.
If you haven't purchased an account yet, you can choose one of the available games from the PS5 account purchase page and get started today.
