Sony backflips on Helldivers 2 account linking plans after weekend of outrage

After a huge outcry from the Helldivers 2 community over the weekend, Sony has today heeded player concerns and reversed its decision to make PSN account linking mandatory.

The news came in a short statement shared by Sony its @PlayStation account on X (formerly Twitter) late on Sunday evening. In the release, which has already been viewed more than 21 million times, the publisher said it had taken all the weekend’s feedback “to heart” and confirmed the impending May 6 update (and its expected May 30 follow-up) that would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking would no longer happen.
