It’s the Helldivers 2 PlayStation Network restriction issue all over again, but with a single-player game of all things.

Despite Sony reversing its course on the account-linking decision, Helldivers 2 still isn’t available to buy in the other 177 countries that do not have PSN support. In fact, Sony’s other upcoming PC port of the hit action-adventure title Ghost of Tsushima is not available for purchase in those 177 countries.

The Southeast Asian countries you cannot buy Ghost Of Tsushima PC edition from are:

• Brunei Darussalam
• The Philippines
• Vietnam
• Cambodia

Helldivers 2 purchase restrictions were updated to add Baltics.

Furthermore, Ghost of Tsushima now has the same purchase restrictions. pic.twitter.com/TbXjHzCfwb

This is quite an ironic turn of events, given that developer Sucker Punch said that you only need to link your PSN account with your Steam for the game’s Legends online multiplayer mode; the rest of the game can be played PSN-account-less.

A PSN account is only required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game.
