Sony is dropping its PSN account requirement for some of its single-player PC games.

The change means you won’t need to log in to play four of its games on PC: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part II, God of War Ragnarök , and Horizon Zero Dawn .

Sony will “soon” be adding “in-game content unlocks” like outfits and resources.

Backlash to the requirement for Helldivers 2 led Sony to reverse the decision after the game was review bombed on Steam .
