In a rather stunning move, Sony has begun removing the region restrictions that previously existed on its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation games that were ported to PC. What's more, it appears that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the massive success of Stellar Blade is one of the key reasons why.

on Twitter, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War Ragnarök, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2 are among the 🔥games to have had the restriꦏctions removed, .

In removing the restrictions, it'll allow players in countries that do not support PSN to be able to play the games. As of thi🎃s writing, it's unclear whether other titles (Ghost of ℱTsushima, Until Dawn, etc.) will also see changes.

Stellar Blade Quickly Became The Best Performing PlayStation PC Port

It was widely presumed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Stellar Blade would be a hit on PC, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:large𓆏ཧly due to the raunchy mods that would follow, but its success has ꦗbeen ജunprecedented, at least compared to other PlayStation titles.

In the lead-up to its release, its PC demo had🥂 more concurrents than t💃he likes of Indiana Jones or ARC Raiders. Then, upon its launch, it topped over 180,0♈00 players, more than any𓆉 other PS title on PC. Beyond its wide appeal, the game also diꦕdn't carry the sa♒me PSN restrictions that other games carried, as developer Shift Up somehow managed to loosen those restrictions.

With the game available in more regions, the user base obviously responded in full by purchasing the game. That quick turn in profit could've definitely been a signal to do the same for other games. Otherwise, the company would have continued to contend with lost sales, as well as piracy, of which The Last of Us Part 2 was a major victim of w⛎hen it released on PC.

With the loosened restrictions coming into effect, it'll be fascinating to see if there's an♛ uptick in player counts as more and more gamers get access to the games.
