The Last of Us Part 2 remaster is joining the PlayStation Network club. That means you’ll need to link a PSN account if you want to play the game after buying it on Steam, Epic Games, and other PC platforms when it launches in April, as spotted earlier by Video Games Chronicle.

Sony has made it apparent that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered PC release in April will require an active PSN account to play on Steam.

Sony announced that gamers must have a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to play The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered when it releases for PC.

You'll need to link to a PlayStation Network account to play The Last Of Us Part II on PC, say Sony, reviving an annoyance that excludes 100+ countries.

Sony confirms that the PC port of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will require a PlayStation Network account to play upon release later this year.

Here we go again. The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered, a single-player video game with no multiplayer modes or features, will for some reason require players to login into a PlayStation Network account on Steam when it arrives in April.

Sony has signalled that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC requires a PSN account three months before the game’s release on Steam. As spotted by VGC, the Steam page for Naughty Dog’s single-player adventure includes the now-standard Sony requirement for a PlayStation Network account.
