UPDATE 5/6/2024: Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.
It wasn’t required before? I was prompted to do it when I launched the game for the first time, and it didn’t look like I could skip it. I fumbled with it for a bit because I apparently already had a PSN account with my email when i tried to make one, and ended up having to reset the password.
I was pretty late to the party tbh (the TCS had been deployed right before I started playing), so maybe the option to skip account linking had already been removed at that point? Either that or I was distracted while going through the first time launch.

There was a skip button when I installed it. I guess there was some fine print I didn’t read saying it’s mandatory lol.

I didn’t see a skip button, either, and I got the game a few hours before the TCS was finished.
Yeah you could just close out of it even though the language made it seem mandatory. I made an account, my friends did not.
It did say it was required, but it was in fact not. Tripped me up too.
