Sony Backtracks: PlayStation Account No Longer Required for 4 Single-Player Steam Games

Sony has performed a dramatic U-turn, making PlayStation Network account login optional for four single-player titles on Steam: Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarök, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. While logging in still unlocks in-game rewards like exclusive costumes or early access items, it's no longer mandatory. This follows considerable player backlash and negative reviews after similar policies for other titles, notably Helldivers 2, sparked outrage.
