Yes, GTA 6 game share works on PS5. In its Grand Theft Auto VI code support guide, Sony says a profile that does not own the game can play it if the owning account turns on Console Sharing and Offline Play on that console, as VICE reported on November 12.
Key Facts
- Setting needed: Console Sharing and Offline Play
- Limit: one PS5 per account at a time
- Works with: PS Store purchases and code-in-box copies
- Unlock: midnight local time on November 19, 2026
- Multiplayer: none at launch, it is a single-player game
How GTA 6 game share works on PS5
Every boxed copy holds a download code, not a disc. Once you redeem that code, the game is tied to the PlayStation account that claimed it. A digital copy from the PlayStation Store works the same way.
So the rule is simple: the owning account must switch on Console Sharing and Offline Play on the PS5 where the other person plays. Every profile on that console can then launch the game.
Step-by-step setup
- On the PS5 where you want to share, sign in with the account that owns GTA 6.
- Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play.
- Select Enable.
- Download or pre-load GTA 6 from the owner’s game library.
- Switch back to the profile you want to play on, and launch the game once it unlocks.
If you are sharing with a friend who has their own PS5, do these steps on their console with your account. Still need to download? Follow our GTA 6 pre-load guide.
Warning
Sony only lets you turn this setting on for one PS5 per account. Turning it on for a friend’s console turns it off on yours, so you will need to be online to play on your own PS5. Only share with people you trust, as they get access to your account on their console.
Seeing a padlock?
A padlock on the game tile is normal before launch. GTA 6 unlocks at midnight local time on November 19 on PS5. Check the exact time for your country in our GTA 6 release time guide.
FAQ
Can two people play GTA 6 together?
Not at launch. PlayStation’s FAQ calls Grand Theft Auto VI “a single-player experience”, and there is no co-op or crossplay. You control both Jason and Lucia yourself.
Can I stream it to another screen?
The PlayStation Store listing says Remote Play is supported, so you can stream your own copy to another device you own.
