The PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be out in a couple days: no pre-orders open, no system requirements and no ads
The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating considerable buzz, albeit negative, due to the absence of any pre-release marketing, preorder options, or publicized system requirements.
Sony's recent strategy of accelerating PC ports of PlayStation exclusives, while initially met with resistance from console players, may now be undergoing a reassessment. Factors such as the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 could be influencing this shift.
The earlier-than-usual announcement of the Spider-Man 2 PC port fueled speculation about a potential simultaneous release on both PlayStation and PC platforms. However, this has sparked dissatisfaction among PlayStation fans, concerned about the erosion of platform exclusivity.
Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, hindering sales and frustrating gamers with a cumbersome purchasing experience.
The current lack of pre-orders and unspecified system requirements for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC hints at potential delays. There's growing speculation that Sony might postpone the launch by several months to refine the PC port or adjust its overall PC porting strategy. The game's future release remains uncertain.
