Last year, Sony stirred up controversy by restricting access to certain PC games, such as Helldivers 2 and God of War: Ragnarok, by requiring PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts. Despite consistent sales for PlayStation games on PC, the limitation has been contentious because these titles aren’t accessible in over 100 countries. However, recent developments on SteamDB hint that Sony may be reconsidering these restrictions, to the delight of many fans.
On the Gaming Leaks subreddit, enthusiasts have spotted some unusual movements on SteamDB suggesting that PlayStation games may be playable on PC in various countries. While no official announcement has been made, fans are optimistic that this could mean Sony is easing the PSN restrictions for these games. However, it’s important to approach this news cautiously as Sony tends to strongly uphold those requirements. Nonetheless, it appears that something noteworthy might be unfolding.
Helldivers 2 was the initial Sony game to enforce PlayStation Network (PSN) prerequisites, rendering it unplayable in more than a hundred countries. Although customers from other regions received refunds, fans would have preferred to retain their games. Since then, PSN requirements have become standard for other Sony titles, including Ghost of Tsushima, God of War: Ragnarok, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.
It’s intriguing to consider if this situation might result in the removal of these PlayStation Network (PSN) requirements for these countries. For years, fans from these regions have been expressing frustration about their inability to play these games. While it’s technically possible for them to purchase a PlayStation 5 and use a PSN account from another country, such limitations on purchasing options should be criticized.
Here’s hoping this development results in Sony formally declaring the removal of PSN requirements. Until such an announcement is made, it’s wise to approach the news cautiously. It would be quite disappointing if these requirements aren’t lifted, given that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is slated for release on PC soon.
