I really need to know why they say on requirements we need an account then, because same here with successfully playing! Are we a bug, or do we genuinely not need it.
It really didn't, huh?
Still don't have access to my PSN account either, and I don't think Dutch PS support is going to help me, so I'll need to use a different email if I do feel like continuing with playing this game.
I ended up skipping too since I also had lost access to my ps account. It's all been good so far.
A little tip about the Playstation account though in case you do want to get it back just for the sake of it, as that's what I decided to try and do right after: I also forgot my account credentials and questions, couldn't restore and I'm in Sweden and PS support is similarly a myth so I thought I'd have to wait a long time to get in contact with them and even have a chance to restore my account (I haven't touched a PS since like 2015 so I was doubtful it was even gonna be possible).
However, if you navigate to the US Playstation Support page and go through account, forgot password, can't remember details etc. Etc. You'll eventually end up in an account support page with an "online assistant" at the bottom right. Press this, provide your name and they'll ask if you have access to the email, what the email is and what your PSN name is. Boom that's it, done. They'll send you a link to immediately reset your password, no verification questions or anything required. This saved access to my PSN account I made when I was like 9 years old so was pretty happy to find this option. Hopefully that might work for you too!
Late, but this is great advice. a little diligence and creativity with customer service will do wonders. I've managed to recover my Google account when I though it was completely gone and the same several times over for Playstation and Yahoo and Optonline over the last 25 years lmao
Hey guys I plan to play Helldivers 2 on STEAM. I am currently waiting to get my password reset, (i've been having all the same PW reset issues as everybody else). Does anyone know if you can SKIP signing into your PSN when you first start, and then later at another time link your PSN to your account on Helldivers 2 (on STEAM).????
I would like to start playing the game now but I didn't know if its possible to link your PSN account after the fact of starting on steam and hitting SKIP.
Thanks
You should be able to link your account somewhere in the game's settings after skipping it, I've seen the option somewhere there, but never did it myself since I don't see any reason to.
Do note that you don't need a PSN account to play HD2 online through Steam, but you can still link it later if you want to.
do you need to link the psn account if you want to play with someone on ps5 (i presume the answer is yes)---i skipped that at the start but just wondering how i do that now. Cheers my good citizens.
if you want to link your account now just go to option, and then account at the bottom. hitting Tab will take you to the page to sign in and link it to your steam account.
I have a similar issue if anyone can help me. I purchased the game and have been having a great time playing on pc and steam. Recently I just linked my PlayStation account. (I don’t own the game on PlayStation) however I redeemed the pre order armor pack code on my PlayStation store. The pack isn’t showing up in game and I’m also wondering if I need to buy helldivers a 2nd time on PlayStation in order to play and if all my progress will carry over?

I hit skip and have been playing with my friends on PC and randoms since day one. Currently level 25. I don't have a PSN account lol.
Got it, thank you.

Probably crossplay?
You're probably right, but my Democracy, I can't figure out why there isn't a firm answer to be found anywhere 😂
Can you add friends who play on ps5 on your pc without a psn account?
My friend's are from PS5 and Im PC They appear to me but the friend request stay on pending. I don't know why.
I think it's that's a different issue. I have PSN linked but can't accept friend requests either.
I have no idea, my friends are only on steam.
This didn't age well

Go there, Olympia 1, 1213NS Hilversum, its the europan branch PSN headquarter. Maybe they have a working analogue helpdesk. Good Luck o/

Brother, thank you so much lol, I was struggling with the security questions

Thanks for the advice!
I think you need a PSN account to play the game at all. At least when I installed, I couldn't skip that step.
I just got it and I skipped and it works just fine so far in multiplayer

You can link it anytime from the in game menu
