Why is PvP on PS paid?
The question is, as the title says, why is PvP only paid on PlayStation? According to PSN, there's no requirement to pay for PS+, but when I launch the game, the PS+ subscription message appears. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the game several times, and it didn't help. On Xbox, when I tested it, there was no problem launching, even Iron Banner. The game has been free to play since 2021, and Game Pass isn't required. I don't have a Windows PC, but I tried it on my work laptop, and there was no subscription either. Is the game restricted on PlayStation because I have most of the add-ons? Do you treat players differently depending on the platform? I use Linux on my home computer, but the game doesn't work there at all. According to the description on the PSN store page, the game doesn't require PS+, so either you have a bug or the description is misleading.

Edited by viiTactiiCZz: 3/31/2026 5:42:49 PMSony haven't removed the requirement, likely they aren't counting it as a true F2P title because it was originally launched as paid. It's up to Sony to remove the requirement, not Bungie.
