Free PlayStation Plus for Life on PS4 CUH-1001A via UmarDaBest559

Most are aware of Sony's PS Plus 14-Day Free Trial, but according to @UmarDaBest559 in the Shoutbox there is a glitch for older PlayStation 4 consoles including his own CUH-1001A that allows free PlayStation Plus for life!

According to @Chaos Kid the older PS4 console bundles that came with games offered free PS Plus for a limited time (such as 1 year) and after that you'd have to pay to continue it... but @UmarDaBest559 claims his has been working since 2015 and still is to date.

Here are some steps he shared for those curious: Note: You must have an old PS4 version like my CUH-1001A or the very first PlayStation 4 bundles released for this glitch to work.

• Make a new alternate / dummy PSN account
• Activate (verify) the new account on the PS4 console
• Make it the primary account
• Start a multiplayer game
• Click on free PS Plus trial
• Switch user and you're online with that PS Plus account as your primary
• Then log into PlayStation Network and it should work
• You can get online with any game (Remember... ONLY WORKS ON OLDER PS4 CONSOLES)

That's about it, if you have an original launch PS4 (the ones with BSOD / RAM / overheating, etc issues) give it a try and share your results or questions in the comments below.

hello, thanks for this glitch

but i have question, it work just 2 days then need to do the some thing again or what !!

i have old PS4 CUH-1003A not 1001A and the glitch work with "the division"

i can enter the dark zone without PSN

It works forever for your primary without ps plus, you must go to setting and say log in to ps plus acct and it stays working and log out of psn on psplus acct than it should work, although it works on these first systems is what I know for sure

Please can u confirm that it still works on ps4 12xx and 2xxx series

No only on first ps4

Do you mind sharing what exactly you did, to get it to work on the launch model PS4?

So for this to work you can't/shouldn't have PS+ on your main account? This is what you mean by primary account, correct? And can you explain the bold part of your message above by steps please. Thanks

Forgot to also ask, if the firmware version matters or not? A manufacturer refurbished CUH-10010 should also work, no?
