If you are experiencing issues with the login flow on Linux, please use the following workaround:

On Steam, right click the game in your Library, choose Properties, go to General.
Add -showlinkingqr in the field for Launch Options

If on Linux, read this before preordering
This game claims (twice) in the Store Page that it requires PSN account linking.

Premise: the Windows services/binaries for PSN are incompatible with Proton.

The reason why you can normally play certain slightly older Sony ports that require PSN linking, is that devs actually check for a Linux environment variable (namely, they check for SteamDeck=1), and if that's correctly detected, as well as Proton itself, they just use some different method and/or skip this requirement, making the game successfully playable.

If you start, for example, GoW: Ragnarok from Linux by explicitily exporting SteamDeck=0 to the game, it will instead try to launch Windows's PSN services binaries and will fail with an error message.

There's absolutely no guarantee that the same thing will be done for this game. Steam Deck compatibility/verified is "unknown". If they don't do the same check for this game, you'll end up with an error message and you won't be able to play the game.

Moreover, Sony has never explicitily talked about this environment variable check, at all. If I'm wrong about this one statement, let me know below.

If you're on Linux, I suggest to at least wait for a Steam Deck compatible green mark on the Store page, or wait for the game to release and then regularly check protondb in order to see if the game works on Proton.
im preloading the game now
will tell it works under Arch Linu

Curious if they prove the lock out theory true.

everything runs fine in proton until it tries to connect to PSN then it says "cannot connect to the internet" even though I 100% am on the internet. this succcccccccks

Same here.
I tested to login to PSN ( via webpage, not game ) and am met with the following error:
"Can't connect to the server."
So might be on that end.

Thats so sad...
Seems to be a PSN-side issue. I've got the same problem, but I also cannot login to the PSN website. So yet again a single-player game I cannot play right now because some damn web-wannabe-service does not work. No surprise here...

//edit: Gotta love Sony. Works in Firefox, but not with Brave-Browser.

it's so frustrating because the game launches, HDR works, ... everything is ready except for this network thing.

Yeah sucks... :VGRUMPY:

Their network status page is not reliable either as it shows all services green.
So yeah, as mentioned earlier, a Single player game not working due to forced online services.. :steamsad:

same for me, i can launch the game, i get a few screens asking for preferences, (language, brightness and such) then another screen opens and tells me i cannot connect to PSN, that i appear offline, and game stops. no skip button or anything. i cannot play.
i hate these forced online checks.
Got it working. On Nobara linux, had to go into launch options. paste "SteamDeck=1 %command%" without quotations.
add '-showlinkingqr' to the launch options and you can sign in via QR code, got this from nixxes support! ahhhh yayyyyyy

This worked for me, still cannot login via the webpage though :)
I'll also try Ms. Input's suggestion. Lovely work!
