Following Sony’s U-turn on Helldivers 2 PC account linking with PSN, the developer of Ghost of Tsushima has clarified how the upcoming PC version will work with Sony’s systems.

Amid the backlash to Sony’s announcement that Helldivers 2 on PC would force Steam players to link their account to a PlayStation Network account to continue playing, Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch has told players that parts of the game on PC will require a PSN to play, while other parts won’t.

In a series of tweets, Sucker Punch made it clear that a PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use the PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the single-player portion of Ghost of Tsushima.

The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima, due out May 16, is the Director’s Cut, and includes the Legends co-op multiplayer experience, complete with cross-play between Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 alongside in-game voice chat. It is also the first PlayStation PC port from PlayStation Studios to use the new PlayStation Overlay. This UI, which you can see in the image below, lets users access their PlayStation profile, including their Friends List and Trophies.

I hear the MP is actually pretty fun, but I don't think most people are going to buy it for that.

You get kickbacks from Sony or something?
