- Lost Soul Aside was previously unavailable to purchase in more than 100 countries on Steam.
- The game is now available on Steam, and these restrictions have also been lifted.
- A free demo has also been released for those willing to try the title in these regions.
Since 2024, Sony has implemented regional restrictions and PSN requirements for various games on PC. Lost Soul Aside was one such title, and while Sony removed the PSN requirement from this game not too long ago, the title was still unavailable to buy in over 100 countries.
Although no official announcement has come from the studio itself, it seems the regional restrictions have now been lifted now. According to SteamDB, the game is available in all but a few countries on the platform.
Why it matters: Many fans have seen developer Bing Yang’s indie project evolve into something much bigger over the years. This is why the restricted access on Steam was especially disappointing in this case.
SteamDB now shows that Lost Soul Aside is only unavailable in 8 countries. These include Iran, North Korea, Syria, and more. The vast majority of countries now have access to the game, and users in these regions can even download the free demo released by the team recently.
We can also confirm that the title is available to buy on Steam. This was not the case for our region previously, much like the other PlayStation games that were restricted ahead of launch.
Anyhow, the lack of restrictions should help Lost Soul Aside reach a wider audience. The game has already hit 3K concurrent players on Steam, but the first few reviews are far from positive.
Gamers seem to be pointing out optimization and crashing issues, but the team has promised to look into the matter. Lost Soul Aside’s gameplay has also received some criticism, and these will be addressed in more detail once official reviews come out.
Do you intend to purchase Lost Soul Aside? Have you already played the demo? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
