Overview
- Sony has removed the mandatory PlayStation Network (PSN) account login for four single-player games on PC: Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered.
- The decision follows backlash from PC players, particularly after the controversial PSN requirement for Helldivers 2 in 2024, which led to widespread criticism and review-bombing.
- Players who choose to link their PSN accounts can still unlock exclusive in-game rewards, such as early suit unlocks in Spider-Man 2 and special outfits in other titles.
- The PSN account linking remains optional for these games, and benefits also include trophy support and cross-platform friend management.
- Sony has not confirmed whether this policy change will extend to other PC releases, such as Ghost of Tsushima, which still requires a PSN account.
