Sony removes PlayStation account requirement from 4 single-player Steam games

In-game goodies still provide incentives even though the requirement is gone.

Sony’s game publishing arm has done a 180-degree turn on a controversial policy of requiring PC players to sign in with PlayStation accounts for some games, according to a blog post by the company.

Sony hasn’t lost hope that players will still go ahead and use a PlayStation account, though, as it’s tying several benefits to signing in.

The change is a major about-face for a handful of single-player titles after Sony faced considerable backlash from many angry PC players about the PlayStation account requirement to play the games.

Hey there! I’m also going through Mass Effect right now. The EA app is literally the only thing I HATE about trying to play through those games!

Enjoy the adventure! Such great games. The Legendary Edition and the SteamDeck is a match made in heaven, except for the piece-of-shit that is the EA launcher/app.

Thank you!

I’ve played through them before way back on the Xbox 360, but Steam had a sale for them a couple of years ago for like $20, so I couldn’t resist getting them for a superior platform.

The EA app is by and large the only thing that truly sucks about these games. I already beat Mass Effect 1 again, and damn is that game boring at times. The story is still great of course, but it definitely shows it’s age! Mods have alleviated most of what I hated (looking at you MAKO…) and now I am about 75% through Mass Effect 2. I’ve beat ME3 before, but it has been so long that I’m hoping it isn’t as bad as I remember.

I played Mass Effect 2 first at the time, because I was renting games from a local video rental place. Loved it to bits. It’s crazy being able to play it with Alec Ryder’s armor from Andromeda. Fits Shep to a T!
