Play God of War Ragnarok on PC Without a PSN Account
God of War Ragnarok recently made its way to PC, much to the delight of gamers. However, there's a catch: you need to log in to the PlayStation Network (PSN) to play, even on Steam. This requirement has frustrated many players, especially those who don't have or want a PSN account. Fortunately, a new mod has emerged to bypass this requirement, allowing you to enjoy the game without any PSN linking.
What is the Mod?
The mod, called NoPSSDK, is available on NexusMods. It adds two DLL files to your God of War Ragnarok folder, tricking the game into thinking you're offline. This simple and free mod disables the account linking requirement and the PSN overlay.
How to Use the Mod
Using the mod is straightforward:
- Download the NoPSSDK mod from NexusMods.
- Add the two DLL files to your God of War Ragnarok folder.
- Launch the game and enjoy!
Some players initially reported issues, but the mod has since been updated to resolve these problems. You no longer need to block Ragnarok using your firewall.
Why This Mod is Popular
NoPSSDK has been downloaded over 1800 times, showing just how many people want to avoid PSN login requirements. It's a simple solution to a frustrating problem.
Comparisons to Other Games
This isn't the first time a PSN login requirement has annoyed players. Games like Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima also required PSN logins, but those made more sense due to their online and multiplayer features. In contrast, God of War Ragnarok is a single-player game, making the PSN requirement seem unnecessary.
Final Thoughts
It's clear that players prefer not to deal with unnecessary login requirements, especially for single-player games. Mods like NoPSSDK are likely to continue appearing for future PS5 and PS4 ports on Steam. If you're a PC gamer looking to enjoy God of War Ragnarok without the hassle, this mod is a must-try.
