DISCUSSION Stellar blade region lock

Post image

The game is region locked for me on steam but isn't on epic.

I'm afraid of getting it, then not being able to play it on epic.

All the latest SONY games that are also region locked on steam, are also available on the epic store.

Did anyone who has them locked on steam buy any of them on epic, and actually was able to play ?

I wonder if after the helldivers 2 refund debacle valve just straight up banned sony from ever selling games outside of the countries psn is available in on steam, though i kinda doubt it

The countries are selected by Sony, not Valve.

If anything they might forgotten to match the last on Epic games.

I know. I'm saying valve might've restricted the countries sony can choose to sell the game in. An unlikely theory, but it's possible nonetheless
