How to activate primary PS5
When we are using our PS5 we can have our console activated as the main one if it is the account and the device that we use the most. Being a trusted device and having users who are trustworthy, we can have the console as the main one and thus our account will be primary. By having the PS5 as the main one, we will be allowing all our account benefits to be enjoyed by the rest of the users or secondary accounts.
You have to bear in mind that for each account you can only activate one PS5 so it is likely that if you come from another console you already have it active as the main one and now it throws you an error. When we buy an account we must verify these types of options so as not to have problems later.
We are going to see how to activate your PS5 as the main one and then how to solve if it does not let you do it
