Last week, there was a stir in the gaming world around the Helldivers 2 case and the need to create a PSN account for the PC version. Criticism from players, coupled with Steam’s approval of refunds, eventually paid off. removal of this requirement. However, Sony doesn’t appear to have given up on its efforts to bring PSN accounts to select PC games. This is evidenced by the situation around the game Ghost of Tsushima, which will be released on computers on May 16.
While the game’s developers, Sucker Punch Productions, said a few days ago that PSN would not be required to play the base game, they quickly added that For multiplayer, players cannot do without a PlayStation account. Therefore, those interested in the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima have already begun to find out what this will mean for users in more than 170 countries where PSN is not officially available. In the case of Helldivers 2, Steam immediately withdrew the game from sale in the countries mentioned and refunded existing players.
That same year, we were joined by major digital store Green Man Gaming for Ghost of Tsushima. As a reason, its representatives cited the requirement to create a PSN account to play multiplayer, which players in the affected countries formally cannot fulfill. Green Man Games has already stopped sales of pre-orders in the affected regions and has begun refunds. However, it should be noted that the current situation only applies to this store. Other sellers, led by Steam, have not yet taken a similar step.
So I think Sony will pursue other games as well.
