Thumbs up

An important aspect of the PlayStation 4 experience comes courtesy of its connectivity to various social networks. As such, you’ll want to ensure that your console is correctly linked to your Facebook account in order to access a lot of this functionality. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to setup.

1. Go to the PS4 Settings Screen

Once you’ve logged into your PS4’s primary account, push up on the d-pad to access the top layer of menu options. Scroll all the way to the right until you find a toolbox labelled ‘Settings’, and tap the X button.

2. Select PSN

In the menu, scroll down to the option labelled ‘PSN’ using the d-pad and select it with the X button.

3. Select Link with Other Services

In the PSN area, scroll down to the option labelled ‘Link with Other Services’ using the d-pad and select it with the X button.

4. Select Facebook

Once you’ve reached the ‘Link with Other Services’ screen scroll down to Facebook using the d-pad and select it with the X button.

5. Enter Your Login Details

You’ll then need to enter your Facebook login details. Enter these using the on-screen keyboard and select ‘Log in to Facebook’ using the X button. You’ll need to accept some Terms and Conditions before the process is complete.

6. Import Facebook Information

You can choose to import Facebook details such as your real name and profile picture. Check the items that you want to import with the X button, and select ‘Import’ to continue.
