    Hi

    I usually buy all games on my profile and the kids use them on the ps4 but through their profile.

    I bought SWBF2 for child but when I go to play it on my profile, if his older brothers, it is locked.

    Did I do something wrong.

    Can this be fixed?

    Well, the problem is you bought Star Wars Battlefront 2 :P

    Are the accounts set up as some sort of hierarchy with yours as the "Parent" account and the others as children? If so, it's probably a case that if it's not on the parent account, it can't be played by the rest of the group.

    Whoever you bought the game for, set the PS4 as their primary console - then everyone else should be able to use it.

    Not sure if you can have more than one account as primary, this may feck up the rest of the games on your profile as you will no longer be the primary account.

    Try logging into the account that bought it, start the game then switch account (don't log out) to the one that wants to play it.

    I do this for games I bought on other foreign accounts before I made them primary accounts.

    Edit: not sure I made them primary accounts, probably only have my main one as primary...

    Is this not an origins issue like with plants v zombies.
