Ghost of Tsushima is coming to PC on May 16, which leaves players with the question of whether PSN account linking is required to play the game.

After the Helldivers 2 PSN account debacle, Sucker Punch has released details on PSN account requirements for their Ghost of Tsushima release on PC.

Helldivers 2 recently brought in a massive controversy for the first time since its release this year. Sony's new title was subsequently released on PlayStation 5 and Steam. However, after the game's launch, it was not mandatory for players to link a PSN account to play on PC.

This new PSN account requirement led to players raising questions about whether the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima PC port will feature the same issue or not. In response to these questions, Sucker Punch shared details on the PSN account requirements for Ghost of Tsushima on PC.
