Spider-Man 2 PC Port Cracked in 60 Minutes

Spider-Man 2 launched on Steam and Epic Games Store without DRM protection, making pre-release hacking impossible. This was due to the absence of pre-order or pre-download options for the PC version, coupled with its massive 140GB file size.

Within an hour of Spider-Man 2's PC release, hackers successfully downloaded and cracked the game. As anticipated, the title lacked sophisticated anti-piracy measures.

Sony maintained a low-key marketing approach, revealing Spider-Man 2's system requirements just one day before the PC launch. Currently, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ranks seventh among Sony's largest Steam releases, trailing behind God of War, Horizon, and even Days Gone.

Initial player feedback has been underwhelming. At publication time, the game held a 55% positive rating from 1,280 reviews, with users reporting optimization issues, crashes, and bugs.

Spider-Man Remastered remains the series' PC performance leader, having peaked at over 66,000 concurrent players. Whether the sequel can match this success will become clearer during its launch weekend, though current sales trends suggest promising potential.
