Like most PlayStation first-party games, God of War Ragnarök requires a PSN account. A fact that we've known about since the State of Play earlier this year, alongside a short blog post that mentions this in italics at the bottom of the page. But just because it hasn't come as a surprise doesn't mean that players are happy with this outcome.
God of War: Ragnarök is currently at a "mixed" review status on Steam, thanks to some players review bombing the game. "PSN requirement is ridiculous," one review says. "It's a shame. I'm a big fan of the God of War series, but I'm not on board with this ransom approach."
