Stellar Blade, a popular PS5 game, is coming to PC but is unplayable in over 100 countries due to Sony's restrictions.
The PC release of Stellar Blade is unavailable in 132 countries, possibly due to Sony's online service PSN restrictions, even though the game does not require a PSN account.
Developer Shift Up seems to have been blindsided by the region lock and is working with the publisher to resolve the issue.
Stellar Blade's official account confirmed that PSN is optional and not required to play the game on PC, while discussions about the region lock are ongoing.
