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

Sony has lifted regional restrictions for several PC games available on Steam, allowing players in 177 countries to purchase titles like God of War Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2. Initially, Sony had imposed limits due to PSN login requirements, which restrict sales in certain regions. However, after initial backlash, the company reverted its stance, loosening restrictions, particularly for games like Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade, resulting in better sales performances. While this move is positive, some titles still have regional restrictions, highlighting the ongoing challenges in the gaming marketplace.
The removal of regional locks for titles like God of War Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2 could boost sales in previously restricted markets.
The controversial PSN requirement for the PC release of Helldivers 2 initially limited its sales, but Sony's reversal opened the market.
