Much like Sony Interactive Entertainment’s first-party titles, third-party games that are developed in partnership with PlayStation have had a mandatory PSN account requirement on Steam, making them impossible to purchase in regions where it isn’t possible to create said account. However, it appears that these developers now option to opt out of the third-party account requirement, allowing their titles to be available in every Steam region.
The first notable example is upcoming Lost Soul Aside, which, despite being a single-player title, had a PSN account listed as a mandatory requirement on its Steam store page. The action role-playing game is being developed by Ultizero Games in collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment, and had third-party account requirement in place due to the latter’s involvement. However, this is no longer the case, and it is now purchasable on Steam in regions that aren’t supported by PlayStation Network.
The Steam Database reveals that the mandatory PlayStation Network requirement was removed from Lost Soul Aside’s Steam store page last month on December 19, 2024. It’s unclear whether this is a change in policy at Sony Interactive Entertainment for all of its future titles, or if the removal of the PSN account requirement is only an option for partnered third-party games.
