It ensures that anyone playing or accessing digital content on your system is authorized to do so, granting access to shared game libraries, as well as access to any discounts and deals you have set up in PlayStation Store. Additionally, it opens up more opportunities for streaming and broadcasting content from the console to mobile devices or laptops. Activating your PS5 as primary also helps tie everything together by backing up your save data and other essential game info on PlayStation Network servers for easier access when switching consoles.
