This change will be mandatory for everyone, meaning you need to link your account ASAP. Arrowhead Game Studios stated that account linking was \u201ctemporarily optional\u201d for Helldivers 2 due to the technical issues around the game\u2019s launch,. Now, however, the team is implementing the feature for all players, claiming it is \u201ccritical\u201d to protecting players and \u201cupholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games.\u201d The community openly revolted after the announcement, claiming a mandatory change like this months after launch is \u201cextremely undemocratic.\u201d Despite the pushback, we have an exact date and other requirements for this change, and here's everything you need to know about linking Helldivers 2 to your PlayStation Network account on Steam. How to connect Helldivers 2 to a PlayStation Network account on Steam By the end of May, all Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account. New players as of May 6 will automatically have to link their accounts before playing, while existing players will need to do so by June 4 when signing into the game.\u00a0 Starting on May 30, the basic login screen for Helldivers 2 will feature mandatory PSN account linking. If you have never connected your Steam account to a PSN account before, here are the steps you need to follow:\u00a0 If you have a PlayStation Network account Launch Helldivers 2 on Steam and access the in-client settings menu. Select the PlayStation Network sign-in option and enter your ID and password.\u00a0 Select your communication, privacy, and data preferences before confirming.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a PlayStation Network account\u00a0 Go to the official PlayStation website and click \u201cCreate New Account.\u201d (You can access this page via Helldivers 2 when prompted to sign in with your PSN details.) Enter all of the required details and verify your email address once registration is complete. Launch Helldivers 2 on Steam and access the in-client settings menu. Select the PlayStation Network sign-in option and enter your ID and password.\u00a0 Select your communication, privacy, and data preferences before confirming.\u00a0 Just because you have to connect to PSN, doesn\u2019t mean you need to have PlayStation Plus to play Helldivers 2, though other elements like how this account linking could impact cross-save and cross-progression implementation are still up in the air.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/helldivers-2-democratic-detonation-e1714069607470.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218882"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1218882"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1218907,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218882\/revisions\/1218907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1188513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218882"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1218882"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1218882"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1218882"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1218882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
