The dust hasn't even settled on the Helldivers 2 debacle, which saw Sony reverse course on its widely panned PSN requirement to play the game, and already the PS5 maker is in hot water yet again. Steam, Epic, and Green Man Gaming are reportedly canceling and auto-refunding preorders of Sony's PC port of Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, set to release on May 16, for buyers who live in over 170 countries without PSN access, Eurogamer reports.
This particularly comes as a surprise given the disclaimer the game's developer gave last week after Helldivers 2 was abruptly delisted on Steam in 177 countries where the PlayStation Network isn't available. Ghost of Tsushima only requires PSN account linking for its Legends multiplayer mode; "it is not required to play the singleplayer game," Sucker Punch Productions went out of its way to say in a recent X post. Online storefronts like Steam, Green Man Gaming, and Epic Games Store each had similar disclaimers.
