Days before its release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is stirring up controversy due to the absence of marketing efforts, no open pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This lack of information has left fans and potential buyers in the dark, fueling speculation and discontent.

Sony had previously been reducing the time between PlayStation game releases and their PC counterparts, which had already sparked backlash from console enthusiasts. However, recent challenges, such as the underwhelming sales performance of Final Fantasy 16, might have prompted Sony to reconsider its approach to multi-platform releases.

The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than usual, leading to speculation that Sony might be leaning towards simultaneous releases on both PlayStation and PC. This move has not been well-received by PlayStation loyalists, who feel it diminishes the exclusivity that defines their preferred gaming platform.

Moreover, the sales of the game are being hampered by regional lock-ins via PSN, which adds complexity to the buying process and frustrates players.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC remains uncertain. The absence of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a potential delay in release. Some industry observers suggest that Sony might postpone the launch by a few months to refine the PC port or adjust its strategy for releasing games on multiple platforms.
