Ps4 – Using a PSN account from India in Germany

ps4psn

I have a PSN account from India in which I have a lot of trophies, but no games. I used to live in India, but recently moved to Germany.
I bought a new PS4 pro today in Germany and I was wondering whether I should keep using my Indian PSN account or create a new one? I don't want to lose any trophies I acquired earlier, but I don't want to get into a region locking mess also.

So, I just want to know if there'll be any potential issue I may face when I use my Indian PSN account on a German PS4 pro in Germany? I may want to buy a PS plus subscription on a later date and I certainly do not want to get into a legal trouble (if there's any).

Best Answer

You can use your Indian PSN account on a German PS4 without any legal problems.

What you can do:

  • Create and/or use multiple PSN accounts from different regions on the same PS4.

  • Play games from multiple regions on any PSN account, as long as your PS4 is registered as the Primary PS4 for the account that owns the game, or you own the game disk and it is currently in your PS4.

  • Earn trophies for any game, regardless from which region. Some games (usually Japanese ones) have different Trophy lists for different regions. You can earn Trophies from all lists (if you are willing to buy and play the same game multiple times for each region).

  • Share a PS+ subscription to play PS+ games, or play games online.

What you can't do:

  • Buy or download games or DLCs from a foreign region. To do this, you'll have to create a foreign PSN account, and buy or download the game using that other account.

  • Share a PS+ subscription to redeem PS+ games, or access cloud storage or PS+ exclusive content.
