God of War Ragnarok Now Playable Without PSN on PC

God of War Ragnarok Now Playable Without PSN on PC

God of War Ragnarok recently made its way to PC, following its successful release on PS4 and PS5 in 2022. However, to play this single-player action game on Steam, you need to log into the PlayStation Network (PSN) with a free account. But don't worry, there's a simple and free mod that lets you bypass this requirement.

Modding God of War Ragnarok

A new mod called NoPSSDK has been released on NexusMods. This mod adds two DLL files to your God of War Ragnarok folder, tricking the game into thinking you are offline. It disables the account linking requirement and the PSN overlay.

Some players initially reported issues with the mod, but it has since been updated and should work without additional steps like blocking the game with a firewall.

Why This Mod Matters

Over 1800 downloads show that many players don't want to deal with Sony's PSN login requirements just to play a single-player game. This isn't like Helldivers 2, where the game is online-only and ties into PSN via crossplay. Requiring a PSN login for a single-player game is seen as unnecessary by many.

Key Features of NoPSSDK Mod

  • Removes PSN login requirement
  • Disables PSN overlay
  • Tricks the game into thinking you are offline

Community Reactions

The mod gained a lot of attention, even getting coverage from major gaming sites. However, the creator decided to pull it from NexusMods due to the overwhelming attention and potential legal concerns from Sony. Despite this, some users have reuploaded the mod to other sites.

Here's the message the creator sent to NexusMods admins:

"Hello, that was my personal decision because the mod has got too much attention. Even IGN and PC Gamer wrote an article about it. Thus, I thought it would be better to remove it from public to avoid any potential threats from Sony, even though the project never modified anything in memory related to Sony products. Better be safe than sorry. I am sorry that it happened, but I cannot really put myself at risk since it was unclear. Hopefully, you understand. Peace."

Final Thoughts

God of War Ragnarok is a fantastic game, but the PSN login requirement for the single-player mode on PC is seen as an unnecessary hurdle. Mods like NoPSSDK offer a way around this, and it's likely we'll see more mods addressing similar issues in future PS5 and PS4 ports on Steam.
