Stellar Blade's devs would like you to know you don't need a PSN account on PC as they work on the region lock problem

Connecting 1 is "entirely optional and ne'er required"

Earlier this week, it was leaked and past aboriginal confirmed that Stellar Blade, that Nier and Bayonetta-esque 1 with the jiggle physics cranked up to the max, would beryllium coming to PC adjacent period connected June 11th. This was evidently invited quality to the benignant of radical who bask that benignant of happening (more oregon little nary judgement here). But it rapidly became evident that determination was a spot of a caveat: the enactment crippled isn't disposable to pre-order successful each regions connected Steam.

Now, you'll astir apt retrieve however a batch of Sony published games connected Steam aren't disposable successful each territory due to the fact that of their annoying PSN requirement. That was astatine slightest dropped by Sony somewhat earlier this year, truthful it's a spot confusing wherefore Stellar Blade isn't disposable successful each regions. In fact, developer Shift Up don't adjacent look to cognize wherefore this is the case, arsenic successful a Dwitter station they explained that they are "closely discussing the portion fastener contented with the steadfast and are doing our champion to resoluteness astir of it arsenic soon arsenic possible."

They besides clarified that connecting a PSN relationship is "entirely optional and ne'er required." It's wide they cognize however severely this has been received crossed the committee by PC players, and it sounds similar this has been a spot retired of their hands.

Outside of trying to get this portion fastener occupation sorted, Shift Up besides sought to marque it known that the "DRM has been hard tuned to support the aforesaid mean framework rate, with adjacent higher minimum frames successful immoderate cases", and the mods volition beryllium "fully supported without immoderate restrictions." I'm definite radical program connected making perfectly regular mods for this game. Definitely not having a imaginativeness of thing weird and questionable, nary sir.
