The long awaited Ghost of Tsushima PC port arrives later this month on May 16 and following the recent kerfuffle over Helldivers 2 and its PSN account link requirement on PC, players have been wondering if Ghost of Tsushima will require the same. Well, there’s good news and bad news.
I’m a bad news first kind of guy, so the bad news is that Ghost of Tsushima’s Legends multiplayer mode will require players link a PSN account to play. The good news is that the single-player mode won’t.
<p dir=«ltr» lang=«en» xml:lang=«en»>Thank you for your feedback.Just so you are aware, A PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game. — Sucker Punch Productions (@SuckerPunchProd) May 3, 2024For the uninitiated, Ghost of Tsushima Legends is a co-op multiplayer game mode that released in 2020 as part of the console version’s 1.1 game update. In Legends, players can select from four different classes (Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin) and play with friends across a number of different modes. Legends features a nine episode arc as part of its story mode, a wave-based progression survival mode, and a three chapter endgame raid titled “The Tale of Iyo” that requires all four players.
As players play Legends content they’ll level up their class, unlock new techniques to use in battle, and acquire powerful gear. The mode was well received by fans on PlayStation and should be a treat on PC as well, provided one is able and willing to link a PSN account.

The Galaxy S24 family shipped with Samsung’s ‘Galaxy AI,’ which is the company’s first AI-powered feature set that elevates the smartphone experience. So far, this addition has proven to be successful, as Samsung recently regained the top spot by beating Apple and becoming the largest smartphone vendor in Q1 2024. We expect to see more of these features added to the Galaxy S25 range next year, but ‘Battery AI’ is something that the company is rumored to introduce before it officially announces its 2025 flagship family.
Genshin Impact has officially revealed that it will increase the device performance requirements with the release of Version 5.0. HoYoverse's most popular live service game has a tight update schedule, which allows players to experience new pieces of content every couple of weeks.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson spoke of how generative AI could make its development process "more efficient" and help give developers "more power."
Nintendo’s latest Switch sales projections could bring it extremely close to beating out the PlayStation 2 as the highest-selling console of all time. The Nintendo Switch has been shattering sales records left and right since it first launched back in 2017, surpassing the Nintendo DS as the best-selling system in Japan and outselling other landmark Nintendo platforms like the original Game Boy and the Nintendo Wii.
Today, Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment decided jointly with Tencent to cancel the cooperative multiplayer game they were developing.

Today, Helldivers 2 publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment announced with a brief Steam blog post that Helldivers 2 PC players will soon need to register a PlayStation Network account (unless they already have one) to keep playing the game.
If there's one thing that'll rile people up more than a robot blasting them with a laser cannon, it's having to create a new account. That's something Helldivers 2 players will have to do pretty sharpish, as Arrowhead announce mandatory account linking between Steam and Playstation Network. Why? Safety and security apparently.
Helldivers 2 has brought more success for Sony and developer Arrowhead Game Studios than they could ever have imagined, and a large portion of that success has come through the co-op shooter’s sizeable audience on PC. Soon, however, Sony will be implementing a new requirement on that audience in order to be able to play the game.
The Steam version of Helldivers will soon require all players to sign in with a PlayStation Network account.
Sony has revealed the batch of games that will be free with PlayStation Plus for the month of May, and there’s quite a few notable games coming your way if you’re a subscriber.
