Don't Forget to (Optionally) Link Your Steam Account and PSN Account for Bonus Items

[GlowWorm]

Nora Legacy Outfit and Nora Spear* (available only when linking your Steam account to PlayStation Network)

As confirmed by dev's in a posting some time ago, once you actually have the game, you will have access to the option to link your Steam and PSN accounts to get access to these two bonus items.

These two bonus items are largely cosmetic - the stats certainly are only mediocre compared to what you can acquire in-game. If you personally don't want to link your Steam and PSN accounts, simply don't.

We don't have the instructions yet on how to link the accounts. Presumably the option will become visible when you are able to launch the game on PC.

I was wondering about that. I logged in to my PSN account on my browser and did not see any option anywhere to link my Steam account.

i've a small hope that you can fetch ps5 saves like that but ... if not, i'm more than happy to play this great adventure again, before scavenging for upgrades like i'm doing now.

Plus, i've not even played the dlc yet :)

no option to link so far in game. nothing in the launcher either.

[Trev La Bev]

Yeah can’t figure out how to link either

FAQ says there's supposed to be an option to connect to Playstation on the main menu, but I guess they forgot to actually add that option. Guess we'll have to wait until they become aware.

the instructions are in a pinned post... maybe read those since you know pinned posts are usually quite important

The instructions are wrong, there is no option to connect to Playstation on the main menu.

You don't need a PS to make a Sony/PS account.

The option to link the PSN account did appear for me in the main menu, and currently in the main menu I have an option to unlink.

But various people do seem to be reporting that the option for linking the PSN account is not appearing, so "something" is wrong.

I do have the pre-order bonus, and that bonus is listed as a DLC for the game in my Steam app. If you happen to NOT have the pre-order bonus, then I could hazard a guess that either by purpose or by mistake, maybe linking the PSN account is only offered if you have the pre-order bonus?

My game appears to have already been linked somehow? I only have an option to "unlink" them. I have other Sony games, is it possibly I linked it before and it carries over from game to game? My most recent Sony game before this is Helldivers 2.

Also, how do we get our bonuses? I should also have pre-order bonuses too.

I have the pre order stuff and it does not appear, so we can rule that one out.

Not seeing the link to psn account option. I'm gonna recache the game see if that works. But I think it has to do with Sony online being down. I found an article today about it.

Do we really have to link?
Because my game says "pre-purchase entitlements" in the name when I look under the "DLC" section in Steam. So I assume my Pre-order version is already registered somehow?

My understanding is that the accounts are linked, so if you link one game, you link them all.

You can see if you have the pre-order bonuses enabled in the Steam app, on the page for the game, do Manage (the gear-shaped button), Properties, DLC, and the pre-order bonus should be listed there.

There is a FAQ pinned in this forum with how to actually retrieve the pre-order bonuses in-game. Some of them will be in your Stash, and the earliest you can access that is in Chainscrape after you complete the tutorial. A couple of the pre-order bonuses are only available once you enter the Burning Shores area, which is late game - the Burning Shores DLC starts after the main storyline of the base game is completed.
