Unveiled gifts and Sony's updated policy for PSN on PC

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 policy adjustments. While PSN tethering for PC remains, certain relaxations are in place. 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 opting for PSN tethering will receive in-game bonuses:

  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Early access to the "2099" suit for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
  • God of War Ragnarök: The Black Bear armor set, the first "Lost Things" chest, and bonus resources.
  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered: Bonus points for unlocking features.
  • Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered: The Nora Valiant costume.

In November investor calls, COO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged player resistance to PSN connection requirements. He emphasized the importance of security and order, citing service-based games. However, he failed to clarify how requiring a PSN account enhances security in single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarök.

The gaming landscape has changed.
