2024 was a challenging year for Sony as a few exclusive games were released on PC via Epic Games Store and Steam; however, they generated controversy over their PlayStation Network (PSN) requirement. Helldivers 2<\/a> was one such game that ruffled the feathers of many players, which saw the game being review-bombed over the requirement, while Ghost of Tsushima’s multiplayer component<\/a> asked for a PSN account as a requirement.<\/p>\n

Sony has now addressed the PSN requirement situation in a PlayStation Blog post<\/a> published this week, which saw them roll back on its rigid requirement. As such, they outlined this requirement for two upcoming PS5 games slated to launch on PC this year, along with some incentives for those who sign up for a PSN account.<\/p>\n

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) SVP Head of Publishing, Asad Qizilbash, fully stated Sony’s position on the PSN requirement for PS5 games coming to PC this year. The games in question are Marvel’s Spider-Man 2<\/a> and The Last of Us Part II Remastered<\/a>, for which Qizilbash confirmed that the PSN account requirement will be “optional”<\/strong><\/em> upon their release.<\/p>\n
