Helldivers 2 publisher Sony has today announced that players on Steam will soon be required to link to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. And, the news isn’t going down well.
The PlayStation maker said this linking requirement was only made optional on launch due to technical issues. However, that initial “grace period” for Helldivers 2 players on Steam is now over.
In a new post, Sony explained that, starting 6th May, new Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their account to a PSN account. Meanwhile, those who already play the game on Steam will begin to see a mandatory login from 30th May. Then, by 4th June, all players will be required to have linked their Steam and PSN account to keep playing.
