PC Users Furious Over Lost Soul Aside Being Blocked from Sale in 130 Countries

by

As a gaming enthusiast myself, I’ve found myself voicing my frustration yet again towards Sony over the limitations they impose on the local accessibility of their games. The intriguing title, Lost Soul Aside, has unfortunately become the latest casualty in this ongoing saga. Although Sony doesn’t own UltiZero Games, they are publishing this game for both PS5 and PC under the PlayStation Studios label. This means it adheres to the same availability restrictions that we’ve seen with previous ports from Sony.

Unfortunately, Lost Soul Aside won’t be available for purchase on Steam in 130 countries, which means PC users with accounts from those regions can’t buy the game through their usual method. Instead, they will need to create another account linked to a profile from a region where the game is indeed available to make a purchase.

Initially, this restriction was met with disapproval by PC owners, and the same sentiment is being expressed now concerning Lost Soul Aside. As the game becomes available for pre-order on both PS5 and PC, a discussion thread on ResetEra has been established, outlining the 130 countries where the game cannot be purchased. You can access the list of restricted nations via the provided link.

Hey there fellow gamer! I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter lately about lifting these region-based restrictions we’re dealing with. You know, like when Sony eased up on the PSN login requirement, making it an optional in-game bonus rather than a necessity. It’s important to note that this change isn’t tied to the availability of Sony’s games; it’s more about where Sony has a physical presence.

Now, here’s something interesting – you can purchase PC titles from different regions! This could potentially let those of us under restriction grab a copy of Lost Soul Aside. But, there’s been some cautionary advice floating around, so I guess we’re all treading carefully.

On the PlayStation 5, you can currently pre-order Lost Soul Aside for £59.99 / $59.99, and there’s a Digital Deluxe Edition available that offers additional benefits. Since Sony is also releasing Stellar Blade on PC, it’s possible that similar restrictions will apply as Eve expands to other platforms.
