Unveiling PlayStation Network's Gifts, Sony Enhances PC Policy

Sony's PC gaming policy sparks controversy among gamers. 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, several concessions have been made. 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 who choose to tether to PSN will receive in-game bonuses:

  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Early access to the "2099" suit line for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
  • God of War Ragnarök: The Black Bear armor set, the first "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 November, responding to investor concerns, COO Hiroki Totoki acknowledged the backlash against PSN connection requirements. He emphasized the importance of security and order, referencing service-based games. However, he failed to clarify how mandatory PSN accounts enhance security in single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 or God of War Ragnarök.

Times have changed, and Sony's approach continues to generate debate.
