Arrowhead Game Studios dropped free Helldivers 2 DLC for PS5 and PC players, and it’s not something we usually expect from devs. All existing players have been granted the new ‘Pillars of Freedom’ commemorative cape for the biggest controversy surrounding the game.
Helldivers 2 free DLC rewards players for backlash over PSN fiasco
Not long after Helldivers 2’s release, Sony decided to make it mandatory for PC players to have a PSN account in order to play the game. The move resulted in swift backlash as players from countries with no official PSN support were unable to link just any PSN account to Steam that didn’t match the region they were in, essentially locking them out of purchasing the game.
Sony’s response? Removing the controversial requirement from Helldivers 2 but subsequently pulling its first-party games from hundreds of countries where PSN isn’t available including some major PC gaming markets. Fast forward to today, Sony no longer requires a PSN account to play its games on PC and is slowly removing the region lock barring hundreds and thousands of players from accessing its games.
But speaking specifically about Helldivers 2, Arrowhead decided to issue the free cape in honor of players’ “unquestioning commitment to the defense of Managed Democracy.”
The cape is being rolled out automatically to all players and should appear in your inbox soon, if it hasn’t already.
