Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut appears to have been delisted in countries that can't access the PlayStation Network. This comes after Helldivers 2 was controversially set to force PC players to link with a PSN account to continue playing, a move that Sony eventually reversed after it was met with intense backlash and review bombing.
Despite this backlash, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut will still have this requirement for its multiplayer offerings. While developer Sucker Punchreassures players that they won't need a PSN account to play the game in single-player, a recent update to its Steam page indicates that countries without PSN won't get access to the game at all.
This development was spotted by SteamDB, which keeps track of updates made to store pages on the platform. Here, we can see that Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut won't be available for purchase in 179 regions.
Helldivers 2 was restricted in this exact way after the PSN requirements were revealed, and as noted above, it's still delisted in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, although it's unclear why.
However, according to Sucker Punch, those who live in countries that do have PSN will only have to link their accounts if they want to access the multiplayer.
