Summary
- The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered’s PC release will not require users to have a PlayStation Network account, Sony and Naughty Dog announced.
- Rather, those who do have an account or choose to sign up for one will be rewarded with an in-game item.
- Elsewhere, the game will boast new content for its No Return mode, including the debut of fan-favorite characters, Bill and Marlene.
When The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launches on PC via Steam on April 3, it won’t force users to sign up for a PlayStation Network account, Sony insists. Though if you do, there’s a free goodie waiting on the other side.
Unlike the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC, which had its PC information release less than a day before launch, PlayStation has gone ahead and broke the silence for the port of Naughty Dog’s most recent title.

Helldivers 2 Is A Ball That PlayStation Can’t Afford To Fumble
If Sony wants to pursue a future in live service games, it can’t make mistakes with Helldivers 2.
Chief among the information is that a PSN account isn’t required, something that has previously drawn the ire of fans, leading to negative reviews in the case of Horizon Zero Dawn, as well as an entire debacle with Helldivers 2. Rather, Sony is attempting to incentivize users to sign-up for an account by offering in-game goodies, though as was seen in Spider-Man 2, a mod managed to bypass the requirement to get the unlocks for free.
Elsewhere, there will be new content for the No Return mode.
New Maps, New Characters
As part of the new additions coming to the PC release, both Bill and Marlene will become playable characters in the No Return mode. Bill is a “Smuggler” character, who will have access to a pump shotgun and double rewards, while Marlene, a “Risk Taker,” will have a custom assault rifle.
Beyond the two playable characters, four new maps will also be added. Among the four maps are Overlook, School, Streets and Nest. Naughty Dog touts that all four should be very familiar to players who’ve gone through the campaign. As a final note, the new content will make its way to PlayStation 5 users via Patch 2.0.0, of which bug fixes, along with new Trophies, will also be included.
