Sony unlocks regional restrictions for some PC games in more than 100 countries


PC gamers in 177 countries can once again buy games like Helldivers 2 and God of War Ragnarok.

Sony hasn't officially announced the removal of these region locks, nor the reason why, but God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Spider-Man 2, and the hit co-op shooter Helldivers 2 can be purchased once again in 177 countries that were previously prohibited, as seen in database changelogs. This controversial decision prohibited players in countries that didn't have access to the PSN, so Sony also removed Helldivers 2 from being on sale in those locations. More recently, the PC release of Stellar Blade on June 11 resurfaced Sony's PSN login requirement debacle.
