Helldivers 2 will not require PC players to create a PlayStation Network account, Sony has confirmed. The reversal comes after plans to do so angered players.
Sony will no longer require PC players of Helldivers 2 to create a PlayStation Network account in order to access the game. This reversal followed a weekend of controversy that saw both Helldivers games getting review bombed on Steam .
If you’re unfamiliar with this controversy, Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios angered Helldivers 2 players with an announcement last week. They planned to start enforcing a PlayStation Network account requirement that Helldivers 2 on PC had ignored since shortly after launch.
This whole situation boiled down to two major mistakes. Arrowhead Game Studios wasn’t clear enough beforehand that the reinstatement of the policy was imminent, so the announcement of it came as a shock to players. Meanwhile, PlayStation sold Helldivers 2 to players in regions it technically knew it couldn’t support on Steam, exacerbating the issues such a requirement creates. Thankfully, Sony and Arrowhead reversed course quickly.
