The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is shrouded in mystery and controversy. The lack of marketing, pre-orders, and publicly available system requirements has sparked considerable speculation.
Sony's recent strategy of shortening the release window between PlayStation and PC versions, while initially met with resistance from console players, may now be undergoing a reevaluation. Factors such as the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 could be influencing this shift.
The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC version fueled rumors of a potential simultaneous release on both platforms. However, this has alienated some PlayStation fans who value the platform's exclusivity.
Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, which hinders sales and frustrates players.
The current uncertainty surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch, particularly the absence of pre-orders and system requirements, hints at a potential delay. Some believe Sony might postpone the release by several months to allow for optimization and a reassessment of their PC porting strategy. The situation remains fluid.
