PlayStation Network (PSN) is Sony PlayStation’s online service through which you can engage in various activities.

These activities include playing games online, buying games from the PlayStation store, sharing your trophy information, meeting friends, and so much more.

If you’ve bought a new PlayStation console, you should know to sign in to your PSN account (if you already have one) or register first to sign in.

Now, while many users still cannot get their hands on PS5s, we have limited this discussion to signing in on your PlayStation 4 instead.

So, here’s a quick guide on how to sign in to PlayStation Network on PS4.

Last Few Words

It’s always a good idea to enable 2-step verification for your PSN account.

This way, you can have a code sent to your mobile phone to authenticate a login at every attempt.

As a result, you can keep your account protected. Your PSN account is what allows you to access your library of games (those bought digitally).

So, if you lose your account, you will lose all of your games.
