Now I'm wondering if someone would buy a key for those games that were locked in those countries before, would they be redeemable now? Only one way to find out, but I'm too scared to test it :D

Their whole strategy of not selling games in places without PSN while having no plans to expand the reach of the service and offering no alternative whatsoever was weird to say the least so I guess someone at Sony realized it made little comercial sense and reverted it. Although ever since they implemented that I've had this one simple doubt, do they not sell any PlayStation product in countries without PSN or will they sell you a PS console with effectively no internet functionality?

Summer sale on the 26th, however, I don't think any of those will get good discounts yet. some might not even get any discounts yet. but, good news they finally woke up and removed that block. think they still need to remove it, and psn account requirement, from lego horizon.

OMG, this is the best news!!!

The thought that this happens 2 days after Stellar Blade sells a ton on PC (that has no restrictions btw), kinda makes me think they did this after seeing the success on Stellar Blade and region-free games

Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is also available.

For now games with a remaining lock are Ghost of Tsushima, Until Dawn and Lego Horizon Adventures. Midnight Murder Club also, but it requires PSN so it's (kinda) understandable.

The_Last_of_Us_Part_II_Remastered is still unavailable in the MENA region though.

These restrictions should've never been a thing to begin with,stupid Sony...

🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks the tits of Stellar Blade!!!!!!!!! It sold so much that even Sony understood they were just throwing money away!

Yay!
Maybe someone finally realized that locking out 1/3 of your potential customers was... not a great business decision?

(also Happy 🎂🥂)

Fantastic news. Guess I'll buy all of those on the summer sale, discount or not.

Amazing news, finally!

now we wait for 70% off or more sales

Happy Cakeday :)

deluxe edition of all this game and horizon zero dawn remastered upgrade are still region lock

Great news (and happy cake day!)

Now I'm wondering who can afford those games in the regions where lock has been lifted. I mean countries where putting food on the table is a major and daily concern.

I'm glad that Sony finally abandoned such stupid locking. Thanks, common sense!!

somehow 2 countries are still locked, and I'm in 1 of them

This item is currently unavailable in your region

Another KONAMI-like company, Sony ><VN

Happy Cakeday!

now if only the regional pricing went back to normal. currently the regional pricing is not applicable. so for example a game that should be $13 - $15 is being sold at full price $40.
