These PS4 games will have issues with a PSN ID change

Sony has identified the PS4 games that will be impacted in some way by a PlayStation Network ID change.

Minor issues

While Sony has said the games detailed below will have errors it “did not consider critical to the game play experience”, the following can occur:

  • Previous online ID(s) may remain visible to you and other players, or the online ID is no longer visible in some areas in a game title (in-game rankings, leaderboards, etc). For some game titles, the online ID will automatically update if you sign out and then sign back in to the game or when various gameplay activity is performed after sign-in;
  • User accounts on PlayStation may be unlinked from game accounts.  Linking accounts again may restore the original linkage; and
  • Certain game settings may be initialized to their default state (audio setting, controller setting, etc).  For some game titles, settings may be recovered if you sign out and then sign back in to the game.

Games impacted in some way include the following:
