Can I make another PSN account with the same email?

Answered by John Hunt

Hey there! So, you’re wondering if it’s possible to create another PSN account using the same email, right? Well, I’ve got some news for you. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to have multiple PlayStation Network IDs under one email using the same console.

I know, it can be a bit frustrating if you’re hoping to have multiple accounts for various reasons. Maybe you want to have separate accounts for different regions or for different family members. But, alas, Sony has made it so that each PSN account must have a unique email address.

Now, I know what you might be thinking. Can’t you just use a fake email or create a new email solely for the purpose of creating another PSN account? Well, technically, you could. But, bear in mind that using fake or disposable email addresses might not be the best idea. It can lead to complications down the line, such as not being able to recover your account if you forget your login information.

So, what can you do if you really need multiple PSN accounts? Well, the best solution is to use different email addresses for each account. This way, you can ensure that each account is properly linked to a unique email.

If you’re worried about managing multiple email accounts, there are a couple of options you can consider. Firstly, you could create a new email account specifically for your PlayStation-related activities. This way, you can keep all your PlayStation-related emails separate from your personal or work emails.

Alternatively, you could use email aliases or the “+” trick. Some email providers allow you to use aliases, which essentially act as different email addresses that all deliver messages to your main inbox. For example, if your email address is [email protected], you could create an alias like [email protected]. Emails sent to this alias address would still go to your main inbox, but you can use it as a unique email for your PSN account.

To sum it up, unfortunately, it’s not possible to create multiple PSN accounts using the same email on the same console. Sony requires each account to have a unique email address. However, you can work around this by using different email addresses or aliases for each account. Just make sure to keep track of your login information, and you should be good to go!

I hope this explanation helps, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
