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

by Bella Feb 28,2025

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.

Recent announcements reveal a modified approach: while PSN tethering for PC remains, certain concessions have been made. The following games will not mandate PSN connection:

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 incentives:

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

In a November investor call, COO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged player resistance to PSN connection but defended it as crucial for security and order. While mentioning service-based games, he failed to clarify how mandatory PSN accounts enhance security in single-player experiences like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or God of War Ragnarök.

The gaming landscape has changed.
