    Hey there,

    So this might be a dumb question (and I have a feeling I know what the answer is already!) but my brother and I used to share a playstation, he has playstation plus and his account has that console set to its primary. He would download the free games each month which I would also get to play them. I recently got my own console and transferred all my data over only to realise I cant play the library of games Id had access to from these monthly downloads.

    So here's my question: If I get my own playstation plus account now, will these (previously free to playstation plus accounts at different times) games become available to me now that I have a playstation plus account?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No - they are tied to his PS+ account.

    You would need your brother to set up his account on your PS4 and set your PS4 as his primary one.
    Then you will have access to your brothers library.

    He'll still have access to his games on his PS4 too.
