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 PC release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is generating controversy due to the absence of marketing, pre-orders, and publicly available system requirements. Sony's previous strategy of shortening the release window between PlayStation and PC versions, while initially met with backlash from console fans, may now be undergoing a reevaluation in light of recent challenges, such as the underperformance of Final Fantasy XVI.

The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC version fueled speculation about Sony potentially releasing exclusives simultaneously on both platforms. However, this strategy has alienated some PlayStation fans, who feel it diminishes the exclusivity of their preferred platform. Further complicating matters are regional PSN restrictions impacting sales, adding friction to the purchase process and frustrating players.

The situation surrounding Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 remains unclear. The lack of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a potential release delay. Some believe Sony might postpone the launch by several months to optimize the PC port or adjust its overall cross-platform release strategy.
