Always check the product page to confirm whether you will receive a Code or Key, a Shared Account access method, a subscription or another digital service.

Primary or Secondary?
“Primary” is common store terminology. On PS5, the related console setting is called Console Sharing and Offline Play.
Primary access
We provide a PlayStation account; always play from your personal profile.
- Add the supplied account to your console and keep it there.
- Always play from your personal profile; your saves and trophies stay on that profile.
- Offline play is generally available after the license and console activation are correctly configured.
- The supplied account must remain on the console.
Secondary access
Play only within the PlayStation account we provide.
- You must play only within the supplied account, never from your personal profile.
- Saves and trophies are linked to that supplied profile.
- A stable internet connection is required for license verification.
- The supplied account cannot be used as Primary on your console.
| Feature | Primary | Secondary |
|---|---|---|
| Play on your own profile | Yes | No |
| Personal trophies and saves | Yes | No, supplied profile only |
| Internet required to launch | Usually no, after activation | Yes |
| Console limit | One fixed PS4 or PS5 | One fixed PS4 or PS5 |

Important before you buy
- This is account-based access, not a physical disc or a redeemable key, unless the product page explicitly says otherwise.
- Do not change the email, password, security settings, region or two-factor authentication unless your order instructions explicitly allow it.
- Keep the supplied account on your console. Each purchase is valid for one PS4 or PS5 only; the console cannot be changed.
- Console limits, DLC, virtual currency, pre-order bonuses and publisher-account benefits can vary by title. Read the individual product page.
- Access depends on the console platform, its license systems and its current policies. Platform rules and functionality may change.
Frequently asked questions
Does “Primary” mean I own the supplied account?
No. Primary describes the activation method on your console. It allows you to launch the installed game from your personal profile while the supplied account remains correctly configured on that console.
Can I play online?
The game itself can normally be played online when online features are supported, but some titles require an active PlayStation Plus subscription or a separate publisher account. Check the product description.
Can I change the account details?
Only when the instructions included with your specific order explicitly say you can. Unauthorised changes can interrupt access and may invalidate the assistance available for that order.
Can I use the account on another console?
No. The supplied account is valid for one PS4 or PS5 only. You cannot move this access to another console or change the console.
What happens if I delete the game?
Deleting the game does not necessarily remove the license, but reinstallation may require the supplied account and renewed access verification. Keep that account on the same console and contact support if you need help reinstalling.
What if I need an authentication code?
Follow the instructions delivered with the order. If a current code or additional verification is required, contact IsyPlay support and include your order number.
Still unsure which option to choose?
Choose Primary for the easiest experience on your own profile. Choose Secondary when the lower price matters more than personal trophies, saves and offline access.
