Much likeGhost of Tsushima,God of WarRagnarökand theHorizon Zero Dawnremaster,The Last of Us Part II Remasteredwill, for some reason, require players to link their PSN accounts if they wish to play the game after purchasing it on Steam, Epic Games and other platforms.
Why you will need a PSN account in order to access a single-player game remains a mystery but what it does mean is those without access will be locked out of the game entirely.
This new way of doing things was also seen with the arrival ofHelldivers 2to PC but having to link your PSN account caused so much controversy that the game was review-bombed, leading toSonyreversing its decision.
Not only is it a hassle but it is worth noting that PSN is not supported in every country and so the game will quite literally be unplayable for certain residents.

DespiteThe Last of Us Part IInot having any multiplayer features, it seems as though it is following suit with the new rules, much to the dismay of potential players.
“I don’t get why Sony’s forcing it for single player games,” Twitter user xMalukosaid.
“If there was multiplayer/co-op, I would understand. But limiting so many people/countries from accessing games just doesn’t make a lot of sense.”
Anotherwrote: “Limits thousands of players from playing. Sony is holding PC gaming back and should not be forgiven.”

Hopefully this decision will also be reversed but for now, it is not looking good for those affected.
