God of War Ragnarok Mod Bypasses PSN Account Requirement on PC

God of War new fighting system

God of War Ragnarok has received mixed reviews on Steam, and many of them are due to one main issue: Players must log in with a PlayStation Network (PSN) account to play the game (though some are not being required to do so, for unknown reasons). This has frustrated many, especially those in countries where Sony’s services aren’t available. As a result, it was only a matter of time before the modding community stepped in to address this problem.

A modder named iAroriasUA has released the NoPSSDK mod, which entirely removes the PlayStation PC SDK from the game. As a result, players can enjoy God of War Ragnarok on PC without needing to log into PSN. According to the modder, it fixes unexpected errors linked to the PSN account integration. However, it will also be a relief for players who prefer not to create a third-party account just to enjoy the game.

Downloading the mod is straightforward. You can get it from Nexus Mods and follow the provided instructions. The mod requires copying files such as version.dll and PsPcSdk.dll into the game folder, after which the game can be launched without any issues. As always with mods, users are advised that unexpected issues may arise, particularly with future game updates.

MP1st’s review of God of War Ragnarok on PC gave it a score of 10/10, stating, “The PC port of God of War Ragnarok is exactly what I was hoping for it to be: an excellent, extremely well-optimized port that takes advantage of features only found on PCs.”

Given Ragnarok seems to have sold considerably less compared to the Steam release of the first God of War’s for PC which didn’t require a PSN account to play, could the company renege back on its PSN account requirement especially for single-player games? We certainly hope so.

The 10 people that bought it, like all of PlayStation’s single player games on PC, will be so happy.

Let’s not talk about the fact its been a horrendous flop on PC compared to the INSANE sales it got on PS4/PS5 in the same time frame.

Let’s not forget it’s nearly a two-year-old game and most people who wanted to play it, eventually did play it. Talk about trying to start a console vs PC war.
