- Sony announced Spider-Man 2’s PC Port really early, causing a major commotion among its audience.
- With the game set to release in just three days, no marketing can be seen, and the pre-orders are still closed.
- This suggests that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is being delayed and Sony is possibly changing its strategy regarding the PC Ports.
Sony changed its strategy from releasing games only on PlayStation. The gaming giant usually releases a PC port a couple of years after the game’s launch. However, it is shortening the margin, and PlayStation fans have been protesting against it.
While the fans have demanded Sony to not release games on PC the company has refused to listen to them. However, now it may be changing its strategy once again. The company hasn’t confirmed this intent, but there are a few things we would like to discuss as to why it may be changing the strategy of releasing PC Ports.
Why it matters: Sony has released many games on PC recently, and almost every single one’s reception player count-wise was subpar. Games like Final Fantasy 16 were underwhelmed extremely, failing to meet the expectations.
After Sony announced the Spider-Man 2 for PC, a lot of PlayStation fans were frustrated by this decision. This is because the port was announced early compared to the previous ones, and it showed a pattern that the company could release exclusives even faster or maybe right when it is launched on the console.
The gaming giant has also not realized how badly the region locking hurts its game sales on the PC platform, so it may be thinking about something else now. We think Sony is possibly changing its strategy mainly because its games aren’t performing well on the PC platform.
There are just three days left until the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. However, there hasn’t been marketing for it. Many fans found out about the game being released on PC because of the Marvel Rivals marketing the Spider-Man’s skin.
As mentioned before, there are only three days left for the game to be released, and the pre-orders are still closed. Usually, pre-orders for a game open months before its release, but now there are just a few days left for it to release, and you can still only wishlist it.
Not only that but there is no information about the system requirements. Usually, a game’s thorough requirements are released officially so fans can have an idea of what hardware they would require in order to enjoy the title based on their preference.
Either the game is being delayed, or Sony is shifting its strategy again. The most likely case is Spider-Man 2 being delayed a couple more months, but we won’t be surprised if it releases a statement explaining how the PC ports have failed to meet the expectations without noticing the obvious thing that is hurting the sales (the PSN restriction).
In the end, this is all based on speculation, as the gaming giant hasn’t confirmed anything. We are likely to get the answer for why the pre-orders haven’t opened yet soon enough, but this whole bit is as fishy as it can get.
That said, what do you think about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 situation? Why do you think the pre-orders are still not open? Will it get delayed? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or join the discussion at the official Tech4Gamers forums.
