From the PS Store listing of the game, Deathloop has the same "Online Play Required" as other online-only games like Godfall, Genshin Impact, etc. It's true that it's not as huge of a deal as it would've been some years ago, but if it's real, it sucks that a game that can be played in singleplayer requires a permanent internet connection for no reason. To be clear, this doesn't mean the game needs PS+ to be played (only for the Multiplayer mode where another player invades your game, as it's been shown before), and obviously it's still possible that it's a mistake in the listing.
I thought this could be a case of them listing it as required because of the madatory Bethesda login it'll probably have, like DOOM Eternal, but in that game's listing it says "Online Play Optional" instead. Guess we'll see.
