Helldivers, the popular top-down shooter game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, has finally made its way to Steam as Helldivers 2. However, players were met with a surprise when they discovered that in order to play the game on Steam, they now need a PSN account.

This decision has sparked mixed reactions among the gaming community, as many players on PC were looking forward to playing Helldivers 2 without the need for a PlayStation Network account. Some have expressed frustration over this requirement, feeling that it limits their ability to enjoy the game on their platform of choice. Others have raised concerns about privacy issues and the potential for data sharing between Steam and PlayStation.

On the other hand, some players have defended the decision, pointing out that Helldivers 2 is a cross-platform game that allows for seamless multiplayer experiences across different systems. By requiring a PSN account, players can easily connect with their friends on PlayStation and enjoy the game together regardless of their chosen platform.

Ultimately, the decision to require a PSN account to play Helldivers 2 on Steam has polarized the gaming community. While some see it as a necessary step for cross-platform play, others view it as an unnecessary barrier that restricts their access to the game.

Regardless of where players stand on this issue, it is clear that Helldivers 2 on Steam is still a highly anticipated title that promises to deliver the same intense cooperative gameplay and frantic action that made the original game a hit. Whether players are willing to create a PSN account to play the game or not, one thing is certain – Helldivers 2 is sure to be a thrilling experience for fans of the genre.
