Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now out on PC, however, the game seems to have suffered a lot of criticism. On top of that, reports claim that the game was pirated minutes after the launch which isn’t that surprising considering Sony often releases the PC port for single-player games without DRM protection since the beginning.
X user Pirat_Nation in a post claimed that Spider-Man 2 was cracked within two minutes after launch and while it’s common to see games without DRM make their way through illegal means, two minutes is a bold claim to make, considering the game requires over 100 GB of download.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 becomes lowest rated PC port by Insomniac
If the piracy issue wasn’t enough, Spider-Man 2 also received heavy criticism for its quality of PC port. The biggest issue reported by users was frequent crashes which frustrated many players. This ultimately resulted in a barrage of negative reviews on Steam leaving the game at ‘mixed’ rating.
The previous Spider-Man PC port was one of the most popular released by the studio amassing love from the entire PC gaming community. With players being unable to play the game, the reaction was natural. Acting quickly on the issue, Insomniac Games has released the first Hotfix for PC and addressed the crashing issues with more incoming.
“This hotfix addresses some of the device hang crashes that could occur while playing the game with ray-tracing enabled. The changes in this patch are based on player feedback and data from our crash reporting system. While we are aware of other crashes, we intend to get these first fixes out as soon as possible,” the official announcement said.
