The territories affected aren’t serviced by Sony’s PlayStation Network, with players needing to link to a PSN account to play the PC version Ghost Of Tsushima when it launches later this week, even if they only want to play the single-player portion of the title.
Previous Sony ports like God Of War and Horizon Zero Dawn were available to play without a PSN account (via PC Gamer) and earlier this month, Sucker Punch confirmed “a PSN account is required for Legends online multiplayer mode and to use PlayStation overlay. It is not required to play the singleplayer game.”
Thank you for your feedback.

That has seemingly changed over the past week though with platforms like Steam refunding all pre-orders for Ghost Of Tsushima in the 177 affected territories, while the game has also been removed from a number of digital storefronts.
