For some time, Sony released games from its internal studios and partners on PC. But the policy was changed, and now not all projects will receive a PC version. Against the backdrop of the recent release of Marvel's Wolverine for PlayStation 5, players noticed that the popular cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 disappeared in one region.
Helldivers 2 is developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, but the publisher is PlayStation Publishing. Some players began to fear that Sony had decided to start removing PC versions of games it had previously released from sale.
The problem with the disappearance of Helldivers 2 has so far only been identified in the UK. According to SteamDB data, it has not affected other regions.
A PlayStation representative responded to VGC journalists' inquiry, explaining that the company had not removed any games from Steam:
We are aware of an issue affecting the availability of some games on Steam in the UK. We are working with Valve to resolve this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Horizon Forbidden West is also unavailable to some players. However, there is no such problem with the original Horizon Zero Dawn, Returnal, and other projects.
