Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account

Developer Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment have announced that Helldivers 2 on Steam will soon require a PlayStation Network account to play. All new players from May 30 will have to link their Steam account to a PSN account, and all current players will have to do so by June 4.

due to “technical issues at the launch of Helldivers 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace ******* will now expire.” That expiration begins on May 6 for new players and June 4 for current players. 

While frustration is understood, it’s important to note a PlayStation console is not required to create a PSN account – creating one is free and can be done online, no PlayStation 5 required. SIE encourages players to do so ahead of the June 4 change. 

“We understand that while this may be an inconvenience to some of you, this step will help us continue to build a community that you are all proud to be a part of,” the announcement reads.
