What Does PSN Mean When Purchasing A Game?
I was just about to purchase the new game, "The Witness", when I noticed that next to the title, it is listed as a PSN game. Does that mean PlayStation Network, or PlayStation Now? I recently purchased "Sportfriends" and to my surprise, it was required to have a Now subscription to play this game. This game also has the "PSN game" next to the title. Do you need a subscription to PS Now to play the witness? What exactly does that abbreviation mean?
Best Answer
PSN means to play the game you need to be connected to the internet and to be signed in to your PSN account. If you buy the full game, it doesn't require PSN and you can play offline.
Source is my personal experience, just tried to launch a PSN game without internet connection and can not. It keep asking me to sign-in to PSN.
