#The Final of Us Half 2 requires a PSN account if you wish to play it on PC
Table of Contents
Regardless of releasing to PS5 in 2020, The Final of Us Half 2 is simply nearly coming to PC. On the one hand, it will likely be the remastered model when it’s launched (it’s as much as you to determine whether or not a four-and-half-year-old sport even wants remastering). Nevertheless, in the event you’re planning to get your gritty zombie motion on by way of Steam or Epic Video games Retailer, you gained’t be capable to escape Sony’s clutch.
As famous by VGC, if you wish to play The Final of Us Half 2 on PC, you’ll want to attach a PlayStation Community account so as to take action. Certainly, in the event you look on the sport’s Steam web page, you’ll be able to see it says so on the right-hand column.
That is regardless of two issues:
- TLoU is a single-player sport, so it doesn’t make sense to require a PSN account.
- An identical tactic was tried final 12 months with Helldiver 2. Guess how that went down…
It appears Sony has discovered nothing
Because the report from VGC additionally factors out, having to have a separate account with a purpose to play by way of Steam or Epic renders the sport ineffective in nations that don’t have PSN. Clearly, this implies lots of people around the globe gained’t be capable to play The Final of Us Half 2 (remastered or not) in the case of PC this April.
Whereas Sony has reneged on this determination previously – doing an entire U-turn when it tried to introduce it to the aforementioned Helldiver 2 – the firm additionally admitted it was “nonetheless studying what’s greatest for PC gamers.” Nevertheless, this doesn’t look like the case if Sony goes ahead with PSN necessities for a PC port of a single-player sport.
There was additionally the incident in September 2024 when a mod for God of Struggle Ragnarök eliminated the PlayStation Community requirement altogether. This alone ought to present how unpopular it’s. Will Sony relent for The Final of Us Half 2? It appears nicely inside its greatest pursuits to take action. Sadly, I’ve no affect over that call.
