The much-anticipated Ghost Of Tsushima is finally making its way to PC this month, but unfortunately, it's not all smooth sailing. As many PC players have experienced, a new PSN login policy has caused some issues, and Ghost Of Tsushima is the latest victim. Due to this policy, the game has been pulled from sale in certain countries, much to the disappointment of fans.
Another game that has been affected by this policy change is Helldivers 2, which has been enjoying great success this year. However, since the policy requires PC players to create and link a PSN account, even if they don't own a PlayStation console, many countries without PSN access can no longer play Helldivers 2. This has resulted in the game being delisted from Steam in 177 countries. While Sony did reverse the decision a day later, the damage had already been done.
Now, it seems like we can expect a similar situation with the upcoming PC port of Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut. As noted by SteamDB, the game has been delisted from Steam in the same territories, and refunds are being issued for pre-orders. This is despite the fact that the game's developer, Sucker Punch, had previously stated that a PSN account is only required for the multiplayer mode and PlayStation overlay, not for the single-player campaign.
It's not clear if this delisting will remain for Ghost Of Tsushima, but the developer of Helldivers 2, Arrowhead, has confirmed that they are in discussions with Sony to lift the region restrictions. After the game was delisted in Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt clarified that it was an administrative error and not an indication of further delistings. He also assured fans that they are still working towards making the game available everywhere.
However, it's uncertain if this PSN linking requirement will continue to be used in future PC ports of PlayStation titles. With Sony's plans to release more games on PC, this could potentially be an issue for all of them. In fact, there are rumors that God Of War Ragnarök will also be coming to PC, and an announcement is expected this month.
