Days before its anticipated release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is stirring up controversy due to the absence of marketing efforts, unopened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This lack of information has left fans and potential buyers in the dark about what to expect.
Sony has previously aimed to reduce the time between PlayStation and PC releases, a move that has not sat well with console enthusiasts. However, recent challenges, such as the underwhelming sales of Final Fantasy 16, may have prompted Sony to reconsider its approach to cross-platform releases.
The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than usual, fueling speculation that Sony might be leaning towards simultaneous releases on both PlayStation and PC. This shift has sparked backlash from PlayStation loyalists who feel that the exclusivity of their platform is being compromised.
Moreover, the requirement for regional lock-in through PSN has further complicated the purchasing process, negatively affecting sales and frustrating players who face additional hurdles to enjoy the game.
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 watchers suggest that Sony might postpone the game's release by a few months to refine the PC port or reassess its strategy regarding PC releases.
