Attention Helldivers, Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games.
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.
