However, to incentivize you to still sign in with a PSN account while playing those games, Sony says that it will “soon” be adding “in-game content unlocks” like outfits and resources. You can see the full list of bonuses in Sony’s blog post about the news

Game Bribe
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Early unlock suits: the Spider-Man 2099 Black Suit and the Miles Morales 2099 Suit
God of War Ragnarok Gain access to the Armor of the Black Bear set for Kratos at the first Lost Items chest in the Realm Between Realms (previously only accessible in a New Game+ run) and a resource bundle (500 Hacksilver and 250 XP)
The Last of Us Part II Remastered +50 points to activate bonus features and unlock extras. Jordan’s Jacket from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as a skin for Ellie 
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Gain access to Nora Valiant outfit

Those "bribes" are pathetic as fuck. If you're going to bribe me, do it right. I don't want your stupid skins.

Seriously. Especially for Spider-Man 2, as it only gives you suits that you'll already unlock from playing the game normally.

They did the same thing for the first game.

Still, glad they're making it optional at all.

Edit: I'm also kinda glad that it's not something that's like, actually "exclusive" to tying your PSN to the game, like a costume that you can't get by regularly playing the game.

They probably don't want to give anything to pc players that playstation players don't have, so they just give a pre order style bonus.

Way back when this controversy started I said they should do exactly this, Sony should just hire me and save a lot of money. 90% of the people would take a selfie of their buttholes for a pretty new skin while the rest can just ignore it because who the fuck cares, it's a win-win situation
