Helldivers 2 has been out for a handful of months now—and it's been monstrously popular, so popular in fact that people could barely play it. There's also been another side effect of the game's runaway success: you were actually supposed to make a PlayStation Network account like, months ago. The servers were just too busted to handle it.
As revealed in a recent statement by Sony via the Helldivers 2 Steam page, players will have to create and link a PlayStation Network account beginning May 6: "Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire."
