Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account
CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoCyberpunk and Witcher don’t require a CDPR account, it’s optional for some cosmetic rewards in the respective games.
So really the only companies doing this are Ubisoft and EA. Sony’s in great company…

And also CrossPlay…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than requiring the account to play the game, but it’s still kind of a disappointing move.

Am I missing something? The link only talks about account migration and the rewards that I mentioned in my previous comment. There’s no mention of crossplay.
And yeah, obviously you would need to link your PS or Xbox account to use account migration. That’s how that feature works. Cyberpunk and Witcher are singleplayer games, crossplay wouldn’t apply anyway.

At the bottom of the article, under “Can I opt out?”:
Again, it’s not a deal breaker for me, and not nearly as bad as needing an account to even play, but I felt it was at least worth bringing up.

Cross progression isn’t cross play. Cross progression is when you can take a save on what device and continue it on another one, like from PlayStation to Xbox or PC.
And, obviously, that could only work by linking accounts. There’s literally no other way that could work.
