HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2, and more PlayStation titles have been freed from their region lock prison on PC

Sony have been making a lot of mistakes over the past couple of years, including things like mistakenly thinking they could release 12 live service games by 2026, but the more immediately annoying one is its whole PSN thing. I probably don't need to remind you of that whole Helldivers 2 fiasco, where they tried to make logging into a PSN a requirement for those on PC and later scrapped this because it went down horrendously. However, there has been one other snag that came with all this PSN nonsense: region locking.

Sony is finally removing its Steam region locks for several Playstation PC ports. These restrictions on dozens of countries and territories proved seriously controversial when they were applied to Helldivers 2 after it launched last year, and they affected several other PC ports for the likes of The Last of Us Part 2 and God of War Ragnarok. But now, those region restrictions are quietly disappearing from Steam, perhaps as a consequence of Stellar Blade's recent success on the platform.

Same-date PC ports of PS5 games remain unlikely, as Sony talk up "thoughtful" multiplatform approach despite Xbox comparisons

PlayStation's bigwigs are content to stick with their current approach to multiplatform releases for now, making it unlikely we're going to see a sudden switch to day-and-date PC ports of Sony's big single-player games anytime soon.

SlayPtation have been bringing their studios' multiplayer and live-service games to PC at release for a while now, it making sense with the likes of Helldivers 2 and, er, Concord, to try and ensure the maximum potential player base possible right out of the gate. On the other hand, for single player stuff like God of War Ragnarok and Ghost of Tsushima they've been content to wait a year to bring over to the other video game boxes.

Helldivers 2 patch brings back the Terminids alongside a new way to fight them

Now that The Illuminate has been pushed back from Super Earth, we've got a bigger problem. The Terminids are suddenly coming for Helldivers 2's home of democracy, but luckily for us, Arrowhead has just massively upgraded the game's stealth detection system to help us out. So if you've stepped away from the fight, this is the time to jump back in.
