However, Sony’s account policy is quite comfortable. The company allows a PS5 machine to create and log multiple users (user) On top of that, each user can choose a different partition without any effect.

This leads to gamers that we have choice 2: Cheap and convenient. That is the Asia partition – specifically PSN and PS Plus Thailand.

The Thai partitioning account makes you worry that free games aren’t the same level as US accounts? Forget that thought, nShop would like to review the list of Plus games that appeared in PS Plus Thai:

• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
• inFAMOUS Second Son
• Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry Standalone
• Darksiders II The Deathinitive Edition
• Just Cause 3

I have already invested in a “a bit fierce” US account, so is it a waste to switch to Asia now?

The simple answer is no. You should remember that PS5 allows logging into multiple accounts at the same time. Switching to Asia Plus doesn’t mean you have to give up your old account. The US or EU accounts you used before still use them in parallel.

Simply create 1 more user, create a PSN account in Thailand partition and link that account to a new user then active Plus.

Are you worried that the US game disc you bought cannot be online when you switch to Asia account? Never mind, Sony’s policy is pretty straightforward. As long as that Thai Plus account is active on your PS5 device, the rest of the users regardless of account can be online to play on any type of game.

So in the end, why do you have to spend $ 60 to buy PSN Plus while you can buy the Thai package cheap, extremely convenient. That is the extremely cost-effective second choice.

Besides, nShop also sells Thailand recharge card with face value of THB 2,000 at low price is intended for customers who buy Asia market discs but still want to download DLCs (Expanded game content) on the store.
