Helldivers 2 remains delisted in 177 countries and territories even as Sony backs down on PSN requirement, Arrowhead CEO says 'I won't rest in my desire to have it available everywhere'

Helldivers 2 polar patriots warbond.

There was understandably much rejoicing in the Helldivers 2 community when Sony backed down on its controversial PlayStation Network account linking requirement, but there's also been a curious snag: the game remains delisted from sale on Steam in a collection of 177 countries and territories that aren't served by PSN.

When asked about this issue on the game's official Discord (spotted by Helldivers Alerts on Twitter), Arrowhead Games CEO Johan Pilestedt revealed that this particular fight is still ongoing. "I'm speaking to our partners at PlayStation and Valve and pushing for it to be undone," Pilestedt wrote. "Getting the account linking took a herculean effort⁠—but I won't rest in my desire to have it available everywhere."
