Final yr, shortly after the launch of HELLDIVERS 2, PlayStation made the fairly fascinating choice to make PSN accounts necessary for a few of their video games, earlier than rapidly backtracking on account of group backlash. Sadly, by that time, that they had restricted these video games to international locations that supported PSN, that means these video games have been now not purchasable in over 100 international locations.

Luckily, it looks as if PlayStation has reversed the choice, not less than for many of their video games, and is now permitting HELLDIVERS 2, God of Conflict Ragnarok, The Final of Us Half II Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to be bought in nearly each nation, while including Russia as a blocked nation for these video games. It looks as if Ghost of Tsushima and Till Daybreak are nonetheless restricted; hopefully, that is only a short-term concern.
