Sony seems to be continuing its trend of blocking certain regions from being able to buy the PC versions of its titles. Following up from Horizon Forbidden West, the upcoming Lost Soul Aside will also seemingly not be available in regions, even though it doesn’t require the PlayStation Network.
Caught by ResetEra user Jamrock User, the game’s SteamDB page indicates that it will not be available in 130 countries. In keeping up with this, players from other regions will also not be able to gift the title to those countries.
The move follows similar treatment for Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, which, despite being available on Steam and not requiring a PSN account to play, was made unavailable in certain countries. In the past, Helldivers 2 has also been taken down from stores in certain regions following a controversial move that made a PSN account mandatory.
Ultimately, Sony has backtracked on needing PSN accounts for the PC versions of its games. This seems to have come at a deep cost for several players who live in one of the countries the company has blocked from buying its games. Lost Soul Aside was similarly expected to require a PSN account, even for its PC release, but this is no longer the case.
Lost Soul Aside got a trailer earlier this month, revealing that it will be coming to PC and PS5 on May 30. Pre-orders are now available – check out details for its Digital Deluxe Edition.
