Spider-Man 2 was released on Steam and the Epic Games Store without any protective measures, making it impossible to hack the game before its official launch. The reason for this is straightforward: the PC version did not offer pre-order or pre-download options, and the game's distribution size is a hefty 140 gigabytes.
Just an hour after its release on PC, hackers managed to download the game's distribution and successfully crack it. As anticipated, the game lacked sophisticated defense systems.
Sony took a modest approach in advertising the project, and the system requirements for Spider-Man 2 were only disclosed a day before its PC release. Currently, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ranks seventh among Sony's top releases on Steam, trailing behind not only God of War and Horizon, but also Days Gone.
Initial player feedback has been underwhelming. At the time of this post, the game holds a 55% positive review rating out of 1,280 reviews. Users have reported issues with optimization, crashes, and various bugs.
Spider-Man Remastered continues to lead the series in online popularity on PC, having once attracted over 66,000 concurrent players. Whether the sequel can approach the record set by the first game will become clearer over the weekend. However, if current sales trends hold, Spider-Man 2 has a promising chance to achieve a respectable result.
