It appears that Sony is relaxing its restrictions on PC game releases, as Helldivers 2 is now available for purchase in five locations within the U.S. that were previously off-limits. This decision follows Sony’s recent move to make PlayStation Network (PSN) login requirements optional for certain single-player games. Fingers crossed that this change signals a more expansive approach by the company when it comes to selling their games in various regions and countries around the world.
The multiplayer shooter game, which had been taken off the shelves in five US territories, has now been reinstated: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. This significant move by Northern Star follows Sony’s removal of the game from these regions, offering renewed excitement to fans across all corners.
In essence, Helldivers 2 marked the start of stricter PlayStation Network (PSN) regulations for Sony’s entire library of PC games, regardless of whether they were multiplayer or single-player titles. This new rule has left fans unable to play popular games like Ghost of Tsushima and God of War: Ragnarok on their PC if they reside in regions that don’t have official PSN accounts. Although this doesn’t affect PlayStation 5 owners, it poses a significant issue for PC gamers as Sony has decided to enforce these requirements and remove future titles from distribution.
Excitedly speaking as a fan, it appears that Sony might be softening its stance on PlayStation exclusivity, paving the way for more of our beloved games to grace PC platforms. The announcement of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 coming to Steam hints at a potential wave of Sony’s de-listed games becoming accessible again for gamers worldwide. To start with, five selected titles could be the beginning of this promising trend.
Among all PlayStation games ported to PC, Helldivers 2 stood out as a surprising hit. Not only did it launch concurrently with the PS5 version, but its popularity skyrocketed swiftly, making waves in multiplayer circles. To this day, the game continues to receive updates and players remain thrilled about their ongoing alien-bug-shooting escapades for fascists.
