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.

As spotted by VGC on January 9, the Steam and Epic Store pages for The Last of Us Part 2 went live recently and both pages include confirmation that, yup, Sony is still forcing people to log in to a PSN account to play its latest PlayStation ports. Yes, even when the game is a single-player only adventure, like The Last of Us Part 2.

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.

The Last of Us 2 is coming to PC in April, and you'd better believe it will require a PSN account on Steam. As we saw with God of War Ragnarok, people are going to react normally when this happens, and we're giving you three months' notice now so we can say "told you so" then.

Pre-orders for The Last Of Us Part II Remastered are live on Steam and EGS, and it's the latest PlayStation PC port to require a PSN account.

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.

Ubisoft, a French video game maker, revealed that it had appointed advisors to pursue transformational capitalistic and strategic options. The company had previously revealed that its founding family was considering a potential buyout.
