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—or rather, the lack of buzz is causing controversy. The absence of any marketing campaign, pre-order availability, or publicized system requirements has left fans and critics alike speculating about the game's launch.

Sony's recent strategy of shrinking the release window between PlayStation and PC versions, previously met with resistance from console players, may be undergoing a reevaluation. Factors like the underperformance of Final Fantasy XVI might be influencing this shift.

The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC port fueled speculation about a potential simultaneous release across both platforms. However, this strategy has alienated some PlayStation loyalists who value the platform's exclusivity.

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

Currently, the future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch is 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 refine the game or adjust its PC porting approach.
