Helldivers 2 will soon require players on Steam to link their accounts to a PlayStation Network account, starting May 6th for all new players. This move comes as a surprise to many gamers who have been enjoying the co-op space shooter on PC without the need for a PSN account.

Linking your PlayStation account with Steam is crucial if you are playing any of the console ports on PC, like Horizon Forbidden West. This integration allows for seamless cross-platform play and access to exclusive content that may be locked to specific platforms.

If there's one thing that'll rile people up more than a robot blasting them with a laser cannon, it's having to create a new account. What was optional before will now be mandatory for new players, and required for existing players within a month.

Helldivers 2 players who've been playing the game on Windows PC via Steam since launch will now need a PlayStation Network account to access certain features and content. This change aims to unify the player base across different platforms and enhance the overall gaming experience.

Helldivers 2 now requires all PC players to link their PlayStation Network accounts to the game. So, here's how to do just that. Follow the simple steps provided by the game developers to ensure a smooth transition and continued access to all the game has to offer.

Going forward, your Helldivers 2 Steam account must be linked to PlayStation Network, the creators of the co-op space shooter confirm. This collaboration between Steam and PSN aims to create a more connected gaming community and provide players with a broader range of features and benefits.

Helldivers 2 publisher Sony has today announced that players on Steam will soon be required to link to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. This move is part of Sony's strategy to promote cross-platform play and enhance the overall gaming experience for all players.

UPDATE: The boss of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has pointed fans angered by today's account linking news directly at PlayStation. While some players may be frustrated by this change, the developers are confident that linking accounts will ultimately benefit the gaming community as a whole.
