God of War Ragnarok's PSN PC Requirement Has Been Removed By A Modder
God of War Ragnarok finally made the leap from PlayStation 5 to PC earlier this month. And while fans love the game itself, they're much less enthusiastic about Sony's edict that forces PC users to connect to PlayStation Network just to experience the title. That's already led Ragnarok's PC release to get review-bombed on Steam by unhappy gamers. And now, a modder has already come up with a way to sidestep Sony's restriction.
As reported by IGN, a modder who goes by iArtorias has released the NoPSSDK mod that removes the PSN linking restriction and essentially gives God of War Ragnarok an offline mode. Additionally, iArtorias left a promise on their Nexus Mods page to "try to maintain the tool even if something changes, but hopefully nothing crucial happens."
Given Sony's refusal to bend on the subject, it's almost inevitable that the company will counter iArtorias' mod and any others that remove the PSN requirement. But it's unclear why Sony put that in Ragnarok in the first place since the game is only a single-player title. It makes more sense to utilize PSN for multiplayer games that actually need to be online. There's no apparent reason why Ragnarok has to be subject to the same restrictions.
