Hey OzBargain Gaming Community,
I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experience with using a US account alongside an Australian PS Plus Deluxe account. I recently bought the new PS Portal Midnight Black and am considering setting it up with a US account to access the cloud beta features. My White Portal is currently tied to my Australian account.
I've searched the forum but couldn't find any dedicated topics on this issue, although I have seen a few mentions in comments on other PS Plus posts. Additionally, I googled and found that changing the region of my current Australian account to the US could risk getting banned by Sony, which I definitely want to avoid as I have years left on my Australian account subscription.
I also want to avoid repurchasing another PS Plus account specifically US account solely for cloud gaming. Ideally, I'd like to use my existing account to either game share or tie it to my primary account and still access PS Plus benefits.
Has anyone successfully set up a similar configuration even on their PS5 consoles? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I use a US account here in Australia and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the cloud streaming feature does not work here at all even with a US account with the highest US PS+ tier. I’m the chump who wasted money to see if it would :(
