In response to technical difficulties encountered during the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we provided a temporary exemption from the requirement to link Steam accounts to PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts. However, this grace period is now drawing to a close. Here’s what you need to know:

1. The Importance of Account Linking

Account linking is crucial for safeguarding our players and maintaining the standards of safety and security upheld on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games. It serves as the primary mechanism to protect players from instances of griefing and abuse. By enabling the identification and banning of individuals engaging in such behavior, we ensure a positive gaming environment for all. Additionally, it grants banned players the opportunity to appeal their cases.

2. Upholding Safety and Security

Our commitment to providing a secure and enjoyable gaming experience remains unwavering. Account linking allows us to swiftly address any instances of misconduct, fostering an environment where players can engage with our games free from harassment or disruptive behavior.

3. Transition Period Conclusion

As the grace period for optional account linking nears its end, it is essential for all players to adhere to the established requirements. Failure to link your Steam account to a PlayStation Network account may result in restrictions on your ability to access certain features or participate in specific aspects of the game.

4. Ensuring Fair Play

By enforcing account linking policies, we strive to create a level playing field where all players can enjoy HELLDIVERS™ 2 without fear of encountering disruptive individuals. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated as we work to maintain a positive gaming community.

In conclusion, the transition period for optional account linking between Steam and PlayStation Network accounts for HELLDIVERS™ 2 is coming to a close. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the continued safety and security of our gaming environment.
