Helldivers 2 is forcing PC users to link to a PlayStation account to keep playing

Sony will soon require all Helldivers 2 players on PC to link to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account.

However, Steam users are particularly taking umbrage with Sony enforcing this three months after launch, especially now that they’ve invested significant time into the game.

Others have pointed out that Sony has suffered multiple data breaches in the past, including one last October, although that was employee-facing and didn’t affect consumers.

As Kotaku mentions, some users have also flagged that PSN isn’t actually available in every country, meaning this change would lock some players out of the game entirely.

To that point, Arrowhead CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt took to X to lament the diminishing review score and apologize for the move.
