Surprise, surprise: in May, all Helldivers 2 players on PC must link their accounts to the PlayStation Network

We wrote that thanks to its PC release, Helldivers 2 is already Sony's 7th highest-grossing game in history. So, very soon, PC players will get an interesting "surprise".

Here's What We Know

From now on, all Helldivers 2 players on PC must link their account to the PlayStation Network. Sony explained this decision as follows:

"Account linking plays an important role in protecting our players and upholding the safety and security values of PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games. It is our primary way of protecting players from abuse and violence by allowing us to ban players who engage in such behaviour. It also allows players who have been banned to appeal."

Starting 6 May, all new Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to link their Steam account to their PlayStation Network account. Players who have previously purchased the game will have to link their Steam and PlayStation Network accounts by 4 June.

And Sony notes that this may be inconvenient for some of you, but there's no getting around it.

We would like to remind you that on 9 May, Helldivers 2 will receive a premium BattlePass "Polar Patriots".

Where To Play

Helldivers 2 is available on PC and PlayStation 5.

• The gg editorial team was satisfied with the game and gave it a 4.4/5 rating. This is an attraction that you want to return to again and again. Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes it makes you laugh, sometimes it's tense because of the number of enemies on the screen, but it's the range of emotions that we love games for.
