Why is PS5 Console Sharing and Offline Play Not Showing?

The PS5 console sharing and offline play feature is not showing because it is only enabled on the PS5 console you use to sign in to PlayStation Network for the first time, and if you’re trying to access it on a different console, you need to restart your PlayStation 5 console and sign in to PSN with the account that owns the content you are trying to access. To resolve this issue, you need to go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play and enable Console Sharing and Offline Play.
