Helldivers 2 has been a huge hit this yea,r with a consistent player base since its launch in February and a peak of over 450,000 players.
Fighting for Super Earth, players have been waging war against monstrous insects and deadly robots and laying down their lives for democracy.
But the game’s reputation took a hit recently when it was announced that PC players would have to register for a PlayStation Network account to continue playing the game — a move that would have left players in parts of the world with no PSN support high and dry.
In response, there was a major outcry (and review bombing of the game on Steam) in response, which led Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios to swiftly alter their policies to appease the player base.
The entire ordeal has been a bit of a whirlwind, so it’s OK if you’re a little lost. Here’s what you need to know. Do you need a PSN account to play Helldivers 2?
