Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Releases For PC In 11 Days; Marketing Nowhere To Be Seen

Expert Verified By

Insomniac Has Been Really Quiet Regarding The PC Release!

Story Highlight
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases for PC in 11 days.
  • Despite being a few days from launch, Insomniac has done nothing to promote the game, and details on the launch remain scarce.
  • Many people don’t even know that the game is coming to PC, and considering the PSN requirement, the game could potentially flop.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will launch on PC in just 11 days, the fastest a PlayStation first-party title has ever been ported to PC. However, despite being just a few days from launch, details remain scarce on the PC version.

Insomniac is seemingly doing nothing to promote the game. Spider-Man 2 has not opened pre-orders, and the system requirements and PC features remain unknown.

Why it matters: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives releasing on PC this year, and Sony is sabotaging itself by not marketing it enough.

This is more bothersome, considering that many people don’t even realize the game is heading to PC in the first place. In fact, many people found out about the game’s PC release via a skin marketed for Marvel’s Rivals.

This could primarily be due to the cyberattack Insomniac suffered earlier last year, which leaked the game’s source code. Sony cut Insomniac’s budget and also cancelled all the post-launch content for the game.

Moreover, Spider-Man 2 will be unavailable in several countries due to the game’s infamous PSN requirement. It seems that Sony hasn’t learnt from past PC releases just how much fans detest this requirement.

A lack of marketing, combined with the fact that the game will be unavailable in almost 170 countries, suggests a potential flop release.
