Sony Refunds 'Ghost of Tsushima' PC Version Amid PSN Requirement Issues

May 11, 2024, 09:20 PM

Sony has initiated automatic refunds for PC players of 'Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut' who cannot legally sign up for PlayStation Network (PSN). This decision follows the delisting of the game from digital stores in nearly 200 countries and territories where PSN is not accessible. The game, which was available on platforms like Steam, faced significant backlash due to the new PSN requirement, despite most of the game not requiring a sign-in for gameplay. The issue has affected players globally, leading to the game being removed from listings in about 180 territories.
