Sony's PC gaming policy sparks controversy among players. The company's requirement for PSN tethering, even in single-player titles, coupled with regional service limitations, restricts access to new releases.
Recently, Sony announced adjustments to this policy. While PSN tethering on PC isn't entirely abandoned, some concessions have been made. These games will not require mandatory PSN tethering:
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- God of War Ragnarök
- The Last of Us Part II Remastered
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Players who choose to tether to PSN will receive the following incentives:
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Early access to the "2099" suit line for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
- God of War Ragnarök: Access to the Black Bear armor set, the first "Lost Things" chest, and bonus resources.
- The Last of Us Part II Remastered: Bonus points to unlock features.
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered: The Nora Valiant costume.
In November, responding to investor inquiries, COO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged the backlash against PSN connection requirements. He emphasized the importance of security and order, citing service-based games as the rationale. However, he failed to clarify how single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarök benefit from mandatory PSN account linking in terms of enhanced security.
Times have changed. The gaming landscape has evolved, and this policy continues to be a point of contention.
