Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC Release Imminent: No Pre-Orders, Specs, or Ads

Days before its release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is stirring up controversy due to a lack of marketing, no opened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This unexpected silence from Sony has left fans puzzled and concerned.

Sony's recent strategy has been to shorten the time between PlayStation game releases and their PC counterparts, which previously sparked backlash from console enthusiasts. However, disappointing sales figures from games like Final Fantasy 16 may have prompted Sony to reassess this approach.

The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than usual, fueling speculation that Sony might be considering simultaneous releases for its exclusives across both platforms. This move has not been well-received by PlayStation loyalists, who fear it dilutes the exclusivity that defines their gaming experience.

Furthermore, the requirement for regional lock-in through PSN adds another layer of complexity to the purchasing process, frustrating players and potentially harming sales.

The situation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 2 remains shrouded in uncertainty. The absence of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a possible delay in the game's release. Speculation suggests that Sony might postpone the launch by a few months to refine their PC port strategy or to make necessary optimizations.
