Can I delete games from my account without affecting my boyfriend's on PlayStation?

-

Hey there!
I have a quick question about storage on my PlayStation. My boyfriend and I share the console but use separate accounts. If I decide to delete a game from my account to free up some space, will it also delete the game from his account? Or do I need to invest in a storage SSD to avoid that? I really don’t want to accidentally remove his games. Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, it’s a bummer! The best way to keep everyone’s games is definitely to upgrade your storage. It’ll save you both a headache in the long run!

When you delete a game from the console, it removes it for all users, so yes, if you delete a game on your account, it will also be gone from your boyfriend’s account. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around this unless you get more storage, like an SSD.
