I generally play on one of my PS accounts, so I have to login as that one to play it, but it was bought on another account so that only works on one console. Since space is limited etc I would often play things on my old PS4 rather than the pro if they didnt get any benifit from it, or if I wanted to play something in the bedroom it meant moving the console rather than using the one in there.

 

 

Oh right, that makes sense.

So you can set up a US PSN account and play games on any other account. You can also buy PS+ from the US and have access to multiplayer on all accounts, just that cloud storage/saves on only happen on the account with PS+. 

 

 

 

One thing you will have to get your head around is DLC and any microtransactions will only be available on your US account game. In some instances say if you are buying currency, it will be linked to your US account so you can only use it playing on the US account, not on your NZ account playing the US game. 

 

Some DLC is region locked but some can be played across all accounts. 

 

One example of hard lock region lock is with Square Enix FFXIV where your SQENIX account is locked to the game purchase so you have to play it on the US account.
