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.

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 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.

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 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.

It’s unclear why you’d need a PlayStation Network account to play a single-player game on your PC.
