Helldivers 2 has abruptly found itself in the middle of raging controversy, with Sony’s decision to make PlayStation Network logins mandatory for Steam players to be able to play the co-op shooter having been met with widespread backlash. With another first-party Sony game set to launch on PC imminently in the form of Ghost of Tsushima, maybe have wondered whether it will have similar requirements will be applicable as well, though developer Sucker Punch has offered some clarifications.
Over on Twitter, the studio has confirmed that players won’t have to log in to PlayStation Network to be able to play Ghost of Tsushima’s single-player. However, those who wish to play its multiplayer mode, Legends, or access the new, upcoming PlayStation PC overlay, will need a PSN account. Of course, with Legends supporting cross-play, that was probably to be expected.
Amidst the ongoing PSN account linking controversy, Steam has been issuing refunds for Helldivers 2, while Sony has also delisted it on the platform in over 170 countries. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios boss Johan Pilested says the developer and Sony are currently “talking solutions”.
Meanwhile, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut launches for PC on May 16. Check out its full system requirements through here.
Thank you for your feedback.
Just so you are aware, A PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game.
