Can two people play the same game while game sharing on PS5?

Yes, two people can play the same game while game sharing on PS5, but only if they are playing on separate accounts on the same console, or if the game supports local/online co-op where only one person needs the license (like It Takes Two). For separate consoles, the main account holder (with the game/PS Plus) must enable "Console Sharing and Offline Play" on their PS5, and the other person logs into their own account on their console, downloads the game, and then the main user can play on their console (with internet) while the second user plays on their console.

Can I get banned for console sharing on PS5?

Yes, you can get banned for improper console sharing on PS5, as sharing accounts outside your household violates Sony's Terms of Service, but bans are more likely for account theft, commercial sharing (renting), or abusive behavior rather than just sharing with trusted family/friends within the same home, which is often tolerated if it stays within household limits and doesn't cause issues. While the official rule prohibits account sharing, enforcement focuses on preventing fraud, unauthorized purchases, or misuse, with severe cases leading to account or console bans, especially if accounts are shared with many people or used for commercial purposes.
