Sony has announced that PlayStation PC games PSN account requirement will become optional for some titles. Players who opt-in with a PSN account will enjoy added benefits like trophies and free in-game content.

The first games that will take advantage of this are listed below

• Spider-Man 2
• God of War Ragnarok
• The Last of Us 2
• Horizon Zero Dawn

Asad Qizilbash SVP Head of Publishing, Studio Business Group said this in a blog post

Starting with tomorrow’s release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC, we’re working to add more benefits to playing with an account for PlayStation Network. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (coming April 3, 2025), in addition to God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, will all soon be adding in-game content unlocks for PlayStation Network account users.

An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC. Players who still opt to sign into a PlayStation Network account will also enjoy added benefits like trophies and friend management.

Game creators at PlayStation Studios will continue to work on bringing more benefits to players who sign up for a PlayStation Network account, so be sure to follow studio channels for more information. You can find more details on account sign-in at our website. 

Thank you to our PlayStation PC fans around the world for your support.
