The Helldivers 2 crisis caused another game under the Sony banner to hastily correct that it does not need to be linked to a PSN account to still be able to play solo on Steam.
Helldivers 2's crisis is getting more and more serious. The game was discontinued in 177 countries after forcing players to link to a PSN account. Also under the Sony banner, Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch did not want to get in trouble, hastily corrected that players are not required to link to a PSN account if they want to play the Director's Cut single version on Steam.
As discovered by wccftech, the studio responded to a now-hidden Twitter/X message sent to the studio, assuring players that a PSN account is “not necessary to play the game solo.” However, you will still need to link to PSN to co-op with friends. “Please note, a PSN account is required to use Legends online multiplayer and use PlayStation oeverlay,” the studio further explained.
Since Sucker Punch is “part of the PlayStation Studios family,” some fans may be worried that it could be affected by this request. However, in this case, Sucker Punch does not seem to be as constrained as Helldivers 2. It is important to know that the co-op shooter will lock players' accounts starting from June 4 if they do not link up. with a PSN account, even if they cannot legally subscribe to this service in the country in which they reside (e.g. Vietnam does not have PSN). In the case of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, at least gamers can still play the single-player parts.
The team at Nixxes Software recently revealed the requirements and cross-platform playability for Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on PC. They also detailed the new PlayStation UI options for PC.
