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, unopened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This has left potential buyers in the dark and sparked widespread speculation.

Sony has previously worked to reduce the time between PlayStation game releases and their PC counterparts, a move that has drawn criticism from loyal console fans. However, recent challenges, such as the underwhelming sales performance 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 rumors that Sony might be aiming for simultaneous launches across both platforms. This decision, however, has not been well-received by PlayStation enthusiasts who believe it dilutes the exclusivity that defines their gaming experience.

Moreover, the requirement for regional lock-in via PSN has further complicated the purchasing process, negatively affecting sales and frustrating players.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC remains unclear. The absence of pre-order options and system specifications hints at a potential delay. Some industry insiders speculate that Sony might postpone the game's release by several months to refine the porting process or adjust its PC strategy altogether.
