Sony Lifts Region Locks on Its PC Games, Including Helldivers 2, The Last of Us, More
June 16, 2025
After a prolonged period of restrictions, Sony has made a significant move to expand the availability of its PC game catalogue on Steam. Following the launch of Helldivers 2, players expressed their frustration over the requirement to link a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to access the game. This decision led to a broader impact, as Sony subsequently made its first-party titles unavailable in countries where its online service was not operational, effectively delisting Helldivers 2 and many other titles from PlayStation’s PC offerings in numerous regions.
Expanded Access to Popular Titles
In a welcome turn of events, these restrictions have now been lifted, allowing Sony’s PC games to reach a significantly larger audience than in recent months. As highlighted by gaming insider Wario64, this change encompasses a variety of popular titles, including God of War Ragnarok, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered.
While the majority of Sony’s PC games are now accessible without the need for a PSN account, a few remain tethered to this requirement. Titles such as Helldivers 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Until Dawn still necessitate a PSN link for gameplay. Nevertheless, the removal of purchasing restrictions marks a significant step forward for players eager to explore Sony’s diverse gaming catalogue.
As the gaming community reflects on these changes, many are left to ponder the impact of Sony’s previous restrictions. Have you felt the effects of Sony’s Steam limitations? Share your experiences in the comments section below.
