PSN accounts will now be optional for some PlayStation games on PC, but there will be 'incentives' for users who link them

Sony has announced it will be dropping the PlayStation Network account requirement for some PC versions of its games.

The company shared the decision in a recent PlayStation Blog post, explaining that the linking of a PSN account will no longer be needed starting with the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC today (January 30, 2025).

«An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC. Players who still opt to sign into a PlayStation Network account will also enjoy added benefits like trophies and friend management,» the post reads.

The games that no longer require a PSN connection so far include Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and The Last of Us Part 2Remastered, the latter of which is set to launch on PC on April 3.

Although account linking is no longer required, Sony has said there will be «incentives» for players who do opt to sign in the form of trophies and in-game goodies.

The content includes two spidey suits for Spider-Man 2, new armor for God of War Ragnarok, and an outfit for Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will also receive gameplay bonuses, as well as Jordan's jacket from Naughty Dog's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Benefits for players who link their PSN account:

Sony added that it will also continue to work with developers at PlayStation Studios to bring «more benefits to players who sign up for a PlayStation Network account», so it's likely more PC games will be affected by the change down the line.

Banks in Japan are blocking Steam payments for sex games, leaving Japanese adult game devs cut off from income
I'm sure I don't have to tell you if you've ever toggled off Steam's sexual content filters—whether out of curiosity or otherwise is your business—but there's a lot of porn on Steam. At time of writing, of the roughly 122,000 games on Steam, almost 6,000 are marked as Adult Only. That's about 1 in 20, and nearly half of those are tagged as Hentai games. Despite the surplus of horny anime material available for purchase, Japanese adult game devs are apparently being kept from the profits of their Steam sales.

Inzoi won't stop promising new features even though its launch is only 2 months away
Keeping track of the planned features for upcoming life sim Inzoi is nearly a full-time job—for me and probably for several project managers at Krafton—because its game director just won't stop promising more player-requested additions.

And he just did it again last week with only two months to go.
