Sony's recent policy on PC gaming has sparked significant controversy among gamers. The requirement to link a PlayStation Network (PSN) account even for single-player games, coupled with the service's unavailability in certain regions, has led to restrictions on the sales of modern releases. However, Sony has announced some modifications to this policy, indicating a partial retreat from the strict tethering to PSN on PC, with certain relaxations in place.
For the following games, tethering to PSN will no longer be mandatory:
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- God of War Ragnarok
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
For those who choose to link their PSN account, Sony is offering exclusive in-game rewards:
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Early access to the "2099" line of costumes for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
- God of War Ragnarok: Access to the Armor of the Black Bear set from the first "Lost Things" chest at the beginning of the game, along with a set of resources.
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered: Bonus points to unlock additional features.
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered: The Nora Valiant costume.
In response to investor inquiries in November, Sony's COO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged the opposition to the PSN connection requirement but emphasized its importance for maintaining security and order. While he discussed this in the context of service-based games, he did not clarify how single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or God of War Ragnarök benefit from a mandatory PSN account in terms of safety.
As gaming evolves, so too must the policies that govern it, reflecting the changing needs and expectations of the gaming community.
