Sony shared a brief statement via its Play Station account on X (formerly Twitter) late on Sunday evening. The statement, which has garnered over 21 million views, acknowledges the feedback received over the weekend and assures players that the previously planned May 6 update, along with its anticipated May 30 follow-up, which would have mandated Steam and PlayStation Network account linking, will no longer be implemented. '''More:'''[[News/All Knights to Leave Latin American League\|All Knights to Leave Latin American League]] Sony's decision to require account linking posed a challenge due to Helldivers 2 being sold in countries where Sony doesn't manage the PlayStation Network.
