Split Screen on PS5 adds guest rather than personal account

I saw a ticket for this for Xbox and was hoping the fix would also fix the issue on Playstation, but it doesn’t seem to have and only references Xbox in the release notes.

Local split screen is still broken, with the second player joining as a guest rather than as their personal account that they’re signed into. Exact same issue as the xbox ticket: (MCPE-222048) so I’ll copy and paste the issue from that ticket below, as it’s identical:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Own two PS5 accounts on the same device.

  2. Open or create world in Minecraft.

  3. Use second controller to Join as Player 2.

  4. Sign in as second account.

Expected result:

Second player joins as their own account.

Actual result:

Second player joins as ‘MainUser(2)’

Additional details:

All accounts other than ‘MainUser' on the device will lead to the ‘MainUser(2)’ guest account. Exiting second account and adding guest will open as ‘MainUser (1)’ according to the name in the top right corner of the individual screen. All accounts intentionally opened as guest will be seen as “Player” to others in the world. It is also possible to get ‘MainUser(2)’ and ‘MainUser (2)’ to occur at the same time.
