PSN PC Policy Update Unveils Exciting Gifts

by Leo Feb 25,2025

Sony's controversial PC gaming policy, mandating PSN tethering even for single-player titles and excluding certain regions, has sparked significant backlash from gamers. While Sony hasn't completely abandoned this approach, recent announcements indicate some policy adjustments.

PSN tethering will become optional for the following titles:

Marvel's Spider-Man 2
God of War Ragnarök
The Last of Us Part II Remastered
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

However, players opting for PSN connection 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 initial "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.

Sony's COO, Hiroki Totoki, acknowledged the player resistance during an investor call in November, citing security and order as justifications for the PSN requirement. This explanation, however, remains unconvincing for many, particularly regarding the security implications for single-player games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarök. The evolving digital landscape demands a reevaluation of these practices.
