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

Days before its release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has stirred controversy due to the absence of marketing, closed pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This lack of information has left fans in the dark and sparked widespread speculation.

Sony had previously reduced the time between PlayStation game releases and their PC counterparts, a move that drew criticism from console enthusiasts. However, recent challenges, such as disappointing sales of Final Fantasy 16, may have prompted Sony to reassess its approach to game releases on different platforms.

The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than usual, fueling rumors that Sony might be considering simultaneous releases on both PlayStation and PC. This potential shift in strategy has not been well-received by PlayStation loyalists, who believe it diminishes the exclusivity that sets their platform apart.

Furthermore, sales are being hampered by regional lock-in through PSN, which adds complexity to the purchasing process and frustrates players.

The situation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 2 remains uncertain. The absence of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a possible delay in the game's release. There is speculation that Sony might postpone the launch by several months to refine the PC version or to adjust its strategy for PC ports.
