澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stellar Blade's upcoming PC release does not require you to sign into a PSN account, but despite that, it seems to be suffering the same region-locking restrictions that have plagued other recent ports of PlayStation-published games. Nobody's quite sure why Sony is still regio♑n𓄧-locking these games, and devs at Shift Up seem as confused as anybody.

As shows (and as noted by ), Stellar Blade is blocked on Steam in well over 100 countries. As one fan says , "I've been waiting for you for a year and I prepared $100 two days ago to buy the game and now it's banned 💟in my country because there is no PSN. What is this nonsense?"

. "May I ask where you live?" The studio has continued asking that same question of several other players complaining about the region lock on Twitter.

Planned PSN requirements for Helldivers 2 generatཧed no shortage of controversy, and one of the big concerns was that the PlayStation Network is unavailable in many regions where you'd otherwise be able to buy Steam games. While the account requirement was dropped, the region lock♔ was not, and the is very similar between Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade.

Sony has mostly abandoned forced PSN requirements for its PC games, choosing instead to offer bonus un꧂lockables for players who link their accounts, and that's the case for Stellar Blade, too.

Yet all of the publisher's recent PC releases – including the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 Remastered, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and Lego Horizon Adventures – remain thoroughly region-lo💧cked. The reason why is anyone's guess, but it looks like Stellar Blade will be no exception.

Here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PC games you can play in 2025.
