Lost Soul Aside Is Region Locked on Steam, Because PlayStation Is Publishing the Game
Lost Soul Aside, the highly anticipated action RPG from Ultizero Games, is set to release on PlayStation 5 and PC. However, PC gamers have discovered a major roadblock—the game is region-locked on Steam.
Why Is Lost Soul Aside Region Locked on Steam?
The reason behind this restriction lies in the game’s publisher. PlayStation is publishing Lost Soul Aside, which means the game falls under Sony’s regional distribution policies. This decision affects global accessibility, preventing players in certain regions from purchasing or playing the game on Steam.
What Does This Mean for PC Players?
Since PlayStation holds publishing rights, the Steam version is not as widely available as other third-party titles. Many players outside supported regions will need to either:
- Wait for an official release in their country (if possible).
- Use alternative methods to access the game (which may not be recommended).
PlayStation’s History with PC Games
This isn’t the first time a PlayStation-published game has had regional restrictions on Steam. In the past, other PS5-to-PC releases have faced similar limitations, possibly due to licensing agreements and regional distribution policies.
Can This Restriction Be Removed?
While there is no official confirmation from Sony or Ultizero Games, it remains to be seen whether the region lock will be lifted post-launch. Players will need to stay updated for any announcements.
Final Thoughts
Lost Soul Aside’s region lock on Steam is a disappointment for many PC gamers. While the PlayStation release is unaffected, those hoping for a global PC launch may have to wait for further updates.
