Sony has revealed another upcoming single-player PlayStation game which will require a PSN account on PC. As its official Epic Games Store page confirms, the remake of Until Dawn will require a PSN account.
From what I know, Until Dawn is purely a single-player game, without any online components. There isn’t any co-op mode, and even on PS4, you can’t play with P1 and P2.
Similarly to God of War: Ragnarok, Until Dawn Remake is a pure single-player game. And, like in the new GoW game, Sony will be forcing PSN on all PC gamers. Seriously, is Sony trying to sabotage its PC games? Because that’s the vibes I get.
What this ultimately means is that you’ll have to create and use a PSN account in order to play it. Not only that but the game will not be available in the 170+ countries that do not support PSN.
It’s funny when you think about Sony’s PR statement during the Helldivers 2 mess. Sony said it was listening to PC fans to learn what they wanted. But it looks like they didn’t really get the message. This shows that their PR statement was just trying to fix their image and nothing more.
What’s also ironic is that Ghost of Tsushima does not require a PSN account for its single-player mode. You can play GoT SP without a PSN account. In fact, that’s how I’m currently playing it. Apparently, though, that wasn’t enough for Sony.
And look, I get it when a PSN account is required for an online/multiplayer game. I’m totally fine with that. However, there is no reason at all to force this requirement in a single-player game.
Anyway, Sony also released a new gameplay trailer for Until Dawn Remake which you can find below.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Don't even understand why people make a big deal about this. Pretty small price to pay for getting sony games on pc. Countless xbox games ask for an xbox login and it's usually saved and just requires you to click login from your saved profile. don't really see a problem here. I'll take a simple login over another launcher/denuvo infested game gladly
The reason people are pissed is because certain parts of the world you cannot have PSN. There is no PSN in those regions but there is Steam. They cannot create a PSN account in those regions. They cannot sign up using a VPN because that breaches the TOS.
So they will not be able to play these games because of Sony reqireing a PSN account. It's dumb for games that are single player but I can understand it for multiplayer games.
The Devs for Helldivers 2 said that Sony and Steam are discussing how to handle users in regions without PSN. At least they are discussing it. I am sure if that gets handled it wont be as big of an issue.
Actually, I'm pretty sure most people are pissed because they are tired of being cattle for corporations to exploit through their collected data.
If this is your concern, you should not only use internet but smartphone, smatv etc. as well.
We have already pasted that stage.
Furthermore, corporations are not the only ones.
Your government collects 10 times of more data about you than a corporation.
The only people who are pissed, are the people who can't play it, and a few woke gamers. The rest of us don't care.
Sony is expanding their services to 180 countries (their latest strategy meeting was a week ago). They're also doubling down on requiring IDs, which is bullsh*t.
I still subscribe to the theory that they want to push PS+ on PC and this is the beginning. At least Microsoft wasn't crazy enough to try that again after Games for Windows Live flopped.
It may be plausible that they are thinking of pushing PS+ on the PC, but with so many other alternatives like EA Play, Ubisoft Connect, Xbox game pass etc., many of the PS titles are already available on these platforms. So financially, I don't think it will be feasible unless they offer dirt cheap subscriptions.
I think they want to charge annual multiplayer fees on PC through PSN accounts, thats my guess
Im pissed due to psn requirement , i hate accounts , i have started to not buy games from some companies to reduce the number of accounts , staying only with gog and steam , nothing else im done with cancerous software and companies.
xbox games like forza are heavily online, while this is a singleplayer only
So what?
so what? so a lot! psn account requirement to play singleplayer SHOULD BE BANNED , if you don't understand that you are part of the problem and the one allowing garbage companies to do whatever they want .
I think the biggest issue really is that PSN isn't available in so many countries, meaning that a large number of people will not be able to play the game. Maybe Sony are fine with the loss of potential sales in those countries, but it is strange nonetheless. Perhaps Sony are trying to entice more PC players to make a jump to the PlayStation Network or show more active PSN accounts (when PC players are logged in).
That is what Herman Hulst recently stated. He hopes to entice pc players over to PS by putting their games on pc.
lmao why would you jump from the stronger more powerful pc to a weak a*s console.
But that's what I don't get. I mean, why would you move over to PS when the major titles are being released on PC anyway. Even if it were put in as some sort of "DRM" protection, anyone can just go create a random PSN account and login (similar to the XBox accounts for games like Gears 5 etc.), so it will most likely still be pirated in any case. As a business person, I'm really failing to see the logic behind what they are doing.
You don't make any sense. That price was never there before. Stop talking nonsense and don't be a drone. Imagine you were always waking through a park and enjoying nature. The next day you show up, it's now a "national Park" and you need to pay $23 dollars admission. I guess that's a small price to pay, to keep doing the things you did at no additional expense FOR A LONG FUQIN TIME? See, this type of foolish talking points that gets my blood boiling c'mon man, YOU KNOW BETTER! Not you too man.
no one should pay anything , they already make milions selling casino games with microtransactions .
There's no justification for a single player game having an account login requirement from a third party like Playstation, i'm on PC…i don't want any trace of console toys on my machine.
Banning more than half of the world that does not support PSN even my country included was the right decision in ur point of view ? Besides Sony wants to charge for annual multiplayer on PC thats why they want PC gamers to make PSN accounts and inflate those PSN numbers.
can you imagine if this becomes standard and if you want to play any game from a single launcher/account forces some kind of monthly or whatever time payment ? how many launchers /accounts already exist copying themselves ???
DUDE ITS A BIG DEAL !
If you don't understand that , you are the problem ,probably some rich dude who can pay to what??? 15 launchers/accounts?
Sony is desperate to inflate those PSN numbers, looks like PS5 sold like crap
that's a remake ? look like sh*t
"This shows that their PR statement was just trying to fix their image and nothing more."
So, like every other PR statement, from any other company ever. Does anyone think that any company listens to them? 😆
They all have their agenda, and they will attempt different angles to push it through. Sony's agenda, is try and fluff their PSN numbers. Full stop.
As allways – Sony f*kn anticonsumer Dipshits!
This POS will only hurt them, and are Begging for Piracy. Damn f*kn R**ards 🤣
I do not understand why you guys do make such a big fuss about this PSN Account requirement.
Make one and proceed. What's the fuss about? The gaming community is incredibly ungrateful. Rather than showing appreciation to Sony for making their fantastic PS5 exclusives available on the PC platform (something that was unimaginable just a few years ago), they complain about insignificant issues.
As if they were saying, “I am not going to be bothered by a thing that will only take 5 minutes of my life! Yes, I am that important!”
i think it's because some countries don't allow PSN why i have no clue seems unnecessary but apparently 170 cant use it very strange stuff the matrix is a crazy place i mean they could use a VPN i guess
PSN support told them to make an account on a different region, no VPN required.
Can't make an account if you can't purchase the game in the first place.
cant make nor cant even view steam pages of these games so ye… heheheeee
It's another firm of DRM you nut Fuq
No one wants to give their personal data to Sony.
Sony has a data breach every single year. Sony also sold personal data from users when they took over Crunchyroll.
Sony is way too arrogant if they think they can pull this off on PC where we have access to millions of games, they can not.
Sony's arrogance is starting to p/ss off PC players. Sony is a console maker, PC gamers call the shots, not console maker Sony.
CONSUUUUUME!!!
Oh look another Sony simp,
How much is the rate going for licking Sony's Starfish this well?
Sony is the one that HAS to be greateful people are stupid enough to fork $70 for this garbage demake.
you need help , rich boy
Sorry, customer are not charity body. Company made good product and great service,we buy… Else is just fanboy teritory that wont last long because there will always be other that fill in their shoes. Look at today live services with sh**ty gameplay (a.k.a Redfall, Suicide Squad, etc) , other like Helldivers come to fill that empty void and we buy it. As simple as that but company exec sugar coat it and make it as complicated as it could so their wont get fired by the board and make developers in lower position get fired instead along with blaming market and customer that getting sick with their BS
Does it look that much better than the Decima version?
They could've remastered the Decima version than outright remake using UE5.
Press X to doubt
Ahoy matey!
Sony claims that this is for trophy integration. Do people on pc even care about trophies or achievements?

Crap.
The days of gay has begun. For those that claim CDPR or GoG is better than any other company.

So what. Steam has the whole LGBTQ+ letter soup on their page.
About 2% of men are actually biologically gay. Lesbians don't exist, they are just straight lonely women, but gay men are just born gay, it's not some kind of ideology or contemporary thing.
Neither Steam, nor GOG, nor Epic is going to risk alienating that audience, it would make no economic sense.
Regardless, games on GOG are not infested with DRM, those on Steam are, and that's all that matters for me.
Steam: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/28235b43442f03c46a91dcccf862fd818ab9f6ed1663921aa17fcc65820cd4ad.jpg
There are more important things than obtaining gold at any cost. And I was not trying to promote Steam by pointing this out.
Are you sure its a proper remake and not a remastered version ? I think most knows who the killer is in this 9 years old game.
it's that dude who played the lead in mr. robot
It actually isn't, that's the irony.
No joking, I 100 percent believe that I should be paid a lot of money to play something like this.
Not only they demake this interactive movie they also force you to be log into PSN… they always double down on the insanity.
I'd expect this to be the case for literally every Sony title moving forward as they're planning on including trophy support in all their ports. I'm betting a lot of them probably won't actually "require" a PSN login to play but will just leave the notice on the store page anyway. Regardless I just won't buy them.
my money wont be "required to buy the game" since " avoid" is a great option …
