More PlayStation Games On PC Require A PSN Account, And Players Are Upset

More of PlayStation’s games on PC will require a PSN account, even the single-player ones, and many players were upset with this decision.

During Sony’s May 2024 State of Play presentation, PlayStation announced that God of War Ragnarok and the Until Dawn remake were coming to Steam. However, according to their respective store pages on Steam and the Epic Games Store, both games require a PSN account in order to play them.

Players voiced their concerns about the situation, questioning why a single-player game needs this requirement. One player even joked that they’ll sign up for PSN when Sony finally ports Bloodborne to PC.

The PSN debacle began earlier this month when Sony announced that players would have to create a PSN account to continue playing Helldivers 2. However, Sony reversed this particular decision after fan backlash. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut was released on PC earlier this month, but only the multiplayer aspect required a PSN account.

God of War Ragnarok for PC will launch on September 19. It supports ultrawide monitor support and DLSS/FSR/XESS, as well as all post-launch updates such as new game plus and the Valhalla DLC. The Until Dawn remake will launch on PS5 and PC in Fall 2024.
