Oh wow, so here we go — Arrowhead Game Studios has pulled a surprise move, dropping some free goodies for Helldivers 2 players on PS5 and PC. I mean, when do you see this sort of thing, right? It’s like finding a bonus fry at the bottom of the bag. Anyway, they’ve gifted everyone this ‘Pillars of Freedom’ cape. Why? Because there was this whole drama-rama about the game.
Right, so apparently, not too long after Helldivers 2 launched (and everyone was all hyped and everything), Sony decided to throw a curveball. They demanded PC players get a PSN account to jump in the game. Kind of like asking for a passport to enter your own backyard. People weren’t happy, especially those living in places where PSN wasn’t even a thing yet. They couldn’t play because they couldn’t link a non-existent PSN account to Steam. A major facepalm moment.
What did Sony do? They scrapped the requirement but in a twist, yanked their games too from regions without PSN. It’s like saying sorry but taking the pie with you. Fast forward a bit, and Sony’s changed tunes, no longer asking for PSN accounts to game on PC, and slowly lifting region locks. It’s like doors opening one creaky hinge at a time.
But back to Helldivers 2 — Arrowhead actually handed out this cape as a nod to players for sticking it out. It’s like a badge for surviving the chaos of “Managed Democracy” or something like that. So, if you’re playing, check your inbox ’cause that cape will magically appear, if it hasn’t yet. It’s a digital cape, but hey, free is free!
