Mandatory PSN Account Integration for Helldivers 2 PC Players Starting This May

Beginning later this month, Helldivers 2 players on PC will need to integrate their account with a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to enhance security measures under Sony's directive. This integration, which used to be voluntary upon the game's release, will be a necessity.

Starting from May 6, any new participant in Helldivers 2 on the PC platform must connect their gaming profile to an active PSN account to benefit from the "values of safety and security provided" by the PlayStation ecosystem. Initially, this requirement was not enforced due to technical issues; however, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that this leniency period is concluding.

"From May 30, existing players on Steam will encounter the compulsory sign-in, necessitating the linkage between their Steam and PSN accounts by June 4," states the Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announcement on Steam. This gives current players ample time to adjust to this new requirement. Players eager to comply can proceed to this link to begin the process immediately.

In discussions within the Helldivers 2 Discord channel, community manager from Arrowhead, Thomas Petersson (also known as Twinbeard), has responded to inquiries regarding the availability of PlayStation Network in certain regions. Although an immediate solution for these players remains uncertain, Arrowhead is actively exploring options to resolve these challenges.

In other news related to the game, the Helldivers 2 community has been introduced to the Polar Patriots Warbond earlier this week. This update features four novel weapons to the arsenal, including a distinct slow-firing SMG equipped with concussive rounds, and a new explosive pistol—both of which have been warmly received by the community in anticipation of their release.

Additionally, explorations by Helldivers 2 enthusiasts have led to the discovery of massive tunnels beneath the surface, sparking theories about the anticipated comeback of the formidable Hive Lords.
