Had the same issue! I found that restarting both consoles can sometimes fix the game-sharing hiccup. Tech magic, I guess!

Make sure you've set your PS5 as the primary console for the account that owns the games. Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play, and enable it. That usually solves the problem!

Check if the account sharing the game has its PlayStation Plus subscription active. Sometimes, it can cause issues if it's not.

It's probably just a network or settings issue. Double-check everything, and if it's still not working, contact PlayStation support.

Game sharing is overrated. Just buy your own games, support the developers!
