PS5 users are reportedly getting banned for selling a PS Plus Collection exploit - Video Games Chronicle

Sony is reportedly banning PS4 users who pay money to access PlayStation 5’s PS Plus Collection via a loophole.

The PlayStation Plus Collection is a library of 20 PS4 games (including ten first-party games and ten third-party titles) given exclusively to PlayStation 5 owners who are also members of the paid subscription service.

However, some PS5 owners have begun exploiting a loophole with the Collection, which sees them log in to the user accounts of PS4 owners on their next-gen console, which causes the Collection games to then automatically unlock on the users’ last-gen console.

According to Sony’s marketing, the PlayStation Plus Collection is intended to be a perk for owners of PlayStation 5 consoles only.

It’s believed PlayStation automatically bans a console when it logs into a high number of users accounts in a single day, in order to protect from fraud, so it’s not clear if Sony is banning the users simply for sharing their Collection games.
