Days before its anticipated release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is stirring up controversy due to a notable lack of marketing efforts, no opened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This unexpected silence from Sony has fans and gamers alike buzzing with speculation and concern.
Sony's recent strategy shift to shorten the time between PlayStation and PC game releases has already sparked debates among console enthusiasts. The lukewarm reception and weak sales of Final Fantasy 16 on PC may have prompted Sony to reconsider its approach. The early announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 fueled rumors that Sony might be leaning towards simultaneous releases on both platforms, a move that has not sat well with PlayStation loyalists who fear the erosion of the platform's exclusivity.
Compounding the issue, the regional lock-in via PSN adds another layer of frustration for potential buyers, complicating the purchasing process and dampening sales enthusiasm.
The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC remains shrouded in uncertainty. The absence of pre-order options and system specifications hints at a possible delay. Speculation is rife that Sony might push back the release date by several months to refine the PC port or reassess its strategy for bringing PlayStation exclusives to PC.
