PC Version of Ghost of Tsushima Removed from Sale in Several Countries

The highly anticipated PC port of Ghost of Tsushima is facing a major setback as it has been delisted from some storefronts in regions without PlayStation Network coverage. This unexpected move has sparked concerns among players just a week before the game’s scheduled release on May 16.

The decision to require a PSN account for Ghost of Tsushima on PC has drawn parallels to the recent controversy surrounding Helldivers 2. Many players are questioning the impact this requirement will have on the game’s reach and sales, especially considering the potential exclusion of 177 regions from the PC release.

Players in these regions have expressed dissatisfaction with the requirement, as it may prevent them from accessing certain features of the game. The delisting of Ghost of Tsushima in these areas has raised speculation about Sony’s involvement in the decision, with some suggesting that the company may be behind the move to ensure compliance with PlayStation Network regulations.

The email sent to affected customers also mentioned that refunds will be issued for preorders in regions without PSN support, hinting at Sony’s influence in the situation. This development could have significant implications for the game’s sales and reception on PC, as players continue to voice their concerns over the requirement.

As the controversy surrounding Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Sony will address the backlash and whether the game will be able to overcome these challenges to achieve a successful launch.
