6. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new user profile. This may include selecting a profile picture, entering a username, and setting privacy settings.
7. Once the new user profile is created, you will be logged in automatically. Now it’s time to log in to your friend’s PSN account.
8. From the home screen, navigate to the far right of the menu bar and select the “Settings” option.

13. After entering the necessary credentials, select “Sign In” to log in to your friend’s PSN account.
