How i created a 2nd character in RDO

My main is a female character. But i was curios about how a male character looks. So here's something i tried last night.

I activated my PS4 as primary console. Then, i created a new PS4 user and logged in with that. Because the PS4 was activated as primary, my 2nd user is able to access Playstation Network. I started RDO, and i could create another character! A male, this time. Of course, i started with 0 gold and 0 cash, it's treated like a new account, but still.

I quit the game last night, because it was past 2am, and i'm at work right now. But this morning, i logged in on my main PS4 user, and the progress on my female character was still there. I did not have time to log in on my 2nd PS4 user, though, to check out if the progress on my male character is saved. Will the RDO progress be saved for my 2nd user, even if the 2nd PS4 user does not have an active PSN sub, but a shared one? Any ideas? anyone else tried it, or is willing to try it now?

It's two separate accounts so they will not have any influence on each other.

As long as one account on your ps4 have ps plus and have ps4 as primary, the rest will also be able to use online features 

Not best explanation but hope it helps

I read in some discussion about other game, cant remember which, that you can play online, as a 2nd user, but the cloud saving wouldn't work. That's what i was asking. If the 2nd user is able to use all the online features, i guess it should work. And it would be pretty cool, until R* lets us have more than 1 character on our account.

I have two separate accounts I've used when playing Battlefield, they're completely separate as if they were on different ps4. Cloud saving works for each account, they won't have any impact on each other

Sooner or later Rockstar will probably allow you to make multiple characters with the same account. For now, it's only possible with the "second account" loophole.

GTA Online launched with 2 character slots, and we always thought they will add more later, even if they'd cost money. It never happened, though.

Oh wow I had no idea about this... my wife NEVER games online but she's said she wants to try RDO when she's done with single player, I was thinking we'd need another PSN sub.

That's not necessary. Make sure the account that has ps plus has the ps4 set as primary, then your wife can go online :)

 

 

 

I thought this was well known but seeing this thread, maybe it isn't. Good thing op asked, maybe others also have been wondering the same thing and maybe we get some light on this so people don't buy an extra unnecessary ps + subscription :)
