Starting with tomorrow's release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for PC, we're working to add more benefits to playing with an account for PlayStation Network. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (coming April 3, 2025), in addition to God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, will all soon be adding in-game content unlocks for PlayStation Network account users.

An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC. Players who still opt to sign into a PlayStation Network account will also enjoy added benefits like trophies and friend management.

So making PSN optional on PC

seems so.  i didn't double check but the listed games seem like they are missing a bunch.   but like,.. i didn't check on if returnal (for instance) ever required psn or not. 

just another step in making their platform as dead as xbox imo.
