Horizon Zero Dawn on PC Now Requires PlayStation Network Account
Gaming's Latest Controversy: Horizon Zero Dawn's PSN Requirement
In a significant shift, Horizon Zero Dawn is now demanding a PSN account for its PC players. Previously available, the original Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition has been removed from popular platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The Delisting Dilemma
On Friday, Sony made the bold move to delist the game, opening the door for its upcoming remake, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, which launches on October 31. However, this decision will complicate access for numerous gamers across regions where the PlayStation Network is not established.
- Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition delisted from Steam.
- Remastered version requires PSN account for purchase.
- Available for pre-order instead of the original game.
Previously, players expressed their discontent when Sony required a PSN account for Helldivers 2, leading to substantial backlash. As a result, Sony may need to reconsider its approach to PC game requirements.
Consumer Reactions and Discussions
While some games have successfully maintained accessibility post-remake, Sony's strategy has caused visible unrest within the gaming community. Players are now left wondering how this will affect their ability to enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn and what it means for future PC releases.
