Playstation Gives Players Freebies for PC Games

by

Sony has been working harder to bring its prominent game series onto PC, providing a larger audience with the chance to play its classic games. Titles such as God of War Ragnarok, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered are a few examples of PlayStation games that have been ported over. Although many are pleased these games can now be played on PC, some have expressed frustration about the need for a PlayStation Network account to play them – even single-player games without online functionality required this account initially. Sony has since adjusted its policy regarding this necessity, but now, the company is offering incentives to encourage players to establish an account and receive free perks.

Sony is offering in-game bonuses for users who create a PlayStation Network account specifically for certain PC games they publish. Some of these titles are “God of War: Ragnarok”, “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”, the remastered version of “The Last of Us Part II”, and “Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered”.

The majority of Sony’s PC game rewards are focused on cosmetics, allowing players more options to personalize their characters and game environments. To access these perks, you’ll need a PlayStation Network account.

Here are all PlayStation Network bonuses for PC games:

Sony PC Game PlayStation Network Account Reward
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Early unlock suits: the Spider-Man 2099 Black Suit and the Miles Morales 2099 Suit.
God of War: Ragnarok Gain access to the Armor of the Black Bear set for Kratos at the first Lost Items chest in the Realm Between Realms (previously only accessible in a New Game+ run) and a resource bundle (500 Hacksilver and 250 XP).
The Last of Us Part II Remastered +50 points to activate bonus features and unlock extras.

Jordan’s Jacket from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as a skin for Ellie. 
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Gain access to Nora Valiant outfit.

For users who create PlayStation Network accounts while playing Sony’s computer games, additional perks are promised, such as extra cosmetics and possible in-game item unlocks. However, the specifics about exclusive content are yet to be determined. Nonetheless, it’s a delightful added advantage for PC gamers with an account.

As a gamer, I can see why some might hesitate to create a PlayStation Network account for PC games, but let me explain the perks that come with it. Linking trophies and friends lists is a game-changer, especially if you’re among the lucky ones who own a PlayStation 5. By connecting your PC games to this account, you can seamlessly transition between console and PC gaming, keeping all your achievements in one place and maintaining connections with your gaming buddies.

However, I understand that not everyone feels this advantage outweighs the need to make a PlayStation Network account or sharing personal data with Sony. But for those who prioritize extra content and want their gaming experience to be as comprehensive as possible, it might just be worth it.

Certain games, like “Helldivers 2” (an online shooter), necessitate a PlayStation Network account, while many single-player titles Sony offers on PC have made this requirement optional. However, for those who choose to create an account, the advantages of PlayStation Network will still provide additional content for their existing games. Regrettably, the free games offered through PlayStation Plus are not included in these perks.
