Household question. If I buy it digitally on my account, can my partner play it on her own profile on the same console with her own save?
I know the general rules for this on both platforms but they have changed enough times that I would rather ask than assume, and the answer is different for the console you bought it on versus a second one.
Accepted answer
On the console you bought it on, yes. A digital purchase can be shared with other profiles on the primary console, and each profile keeps its own save.
On a second console it gets more restrictive and depends which platform you are on. Same console, two profiles, two saves is the straightforward case and it works.
Worth knowing that trophies and achievements are per profile, so she gets her own set rather than inheriting yours.
And two people playing separate saves of a game like this at the same time in the same house is genuinely one of the better ways to experience it. You compare notes.
That is the case I needed. Same console, two profiles. Thank you.
Coming to this late, two saves in one house means one of you does the story and one of you does the checklist, and both of you have a better time.
Two profiles two saves is also how you avoid the argument about who gets to play first on the 19th.
