The performance issues cited by some of the negative Steam reviews can be ironed out in future updates. However, some of the other criticisms are likely to go unaddressed. It’s highly unlikely that the old soundtrack will be swapped in, and fans shouldn’t hold their breath for Sony to change its mind about the PSN requirement.All future PlayStation games are expected to have the same PSN requirement, so Steam users will have to make peace with that if they want to play the company’s games on PC.
