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, but not for the reasons Sony might have hoped. The lack of any pre-release marketing, the absence of pre-orders, and the undisclosed system requirements have sparked controversy among gamers.

Sony's recent strategy of accelerating PC releases of PlayStation exclusives, while initially met with resistance from console players, might now be undergoing a reassessment. The underperformance of titles like Final Fantasy 16 may be influencing this shift.

The earlier-than-usual announcement of the Spider-Man 2 PC version fueled speculation about a potential simultaneous release on both PlayStation and PC platforms. However, this has angered PlayStation loyalists, who feel the exclusivity of their platform is being eroded.

Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, which hinders sales and frustrates players with a cumbersome purchasing process.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch remains unclear. The lack of pre-orders and system specifications hints at a potential delay. Some believe Sony might postpone the release by several months to fine-tune the game or revise its PC porting strategy.
