How to avail cross-play in Helldivers 2 by linking your PSN

To link your PlayStation ID to Helldivers 2, here are a few things that you will be required to do:

• Make your way inside the main menu of the game from the start screen and head over to the Options tab.
• Right at the bottom of the page, you will notice the “Account” option. This will also have the “Link Account” options.
• Click on “Link Account” which will automatically redirect you to the PlayStation registration page.
• Here, you will be required to put in the required PSN details, and you will have automatically linked your PlayStation account to the game.

It’s important to keep in mind that you do not need a PS Plus Subscription to link accounts. You can make a PS account for free or use the one you created for your PS5. Once it’s done, you will be able to link the account to the game.

You will not be able to enjoy cross-play in Helldivers 2 if you have not linked your accounts. So, if your friends are on PC, you will need to go through the account linking if you are looking to play with them.

Additionally, the game also does not feature a cross-save progression, well, at least not yet. However, many in the community feel that it is something that might just get added in future updates, and players will be required to link their PS account to the game to use it.

Regardless, it would be wise to get the account connected to the game if you have not done it already. However, do note that linking your PSN account with Steam or Helldivers is completely optional, and not needed if you're not going to use cross-play.
