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

Days before its anticipated release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is stirring up controversy due to a notable absence of marketing, unopened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This has left fans and potential buyers in the dark about what to expect.

Sony has recently been shortening the exclusivity window for games between PlayStation and PC releases, a move that has previously sparked backlash from console enthusiasts. However, disappointing sales figures, such as those seen with Final Fantasy 16, may have prompted Sony to reconsider its cross-platform strategy.

The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than typical, fueling speculation that Sony might be aiming for simultaneous releases on both PlayStation and PC. This shift has not been well-received by PlayStation loyalists, who feel it dilutes the exclusivity that sets their platform apart.

Moreover, the requirement for a PSN account to purchase the game has introduced regional lock-ins, complicating the buying process and frustrating players globally.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC remains uncertain. The absence of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a potential delay. Some industry observers suggest that Sony might push back the release date by several months to refine the PC port or to reassess its strategy for bringing PlayStation exclusives to the PC market.
