Among the myriad scourges that make playing games in 2024 so tiresome, the need for multiple different accounts to various services ranks high. Helldivers 2 players have just been told by Sony that come next week, they’ll have to link their Steam account with a PlayStation Network account, something it’s been working fine without in the three months since the game launched. This is inconvenient, but perhaps not the end of days.
It was, says Sony in a statement on Steam, the result of “technical issues” that the PC version of the Helldivers 2 on Steam did not need to be linked to a PSN account. Or as the statement puts it, “we allowed the linking requirements...to be temporarily optional.” That “grace period”—an odd phrase to use given players weren’t responsible for the technical issues—is now coming to an end, and from May 6 all new players will need to connect the two accounts.
Current players have another month before they need to faff about, with a deadline of June 4.
