Marvel’s spider-man 2 was caught in a PC after announcing that Sony’s announcement was announced, followed by a number of other single player play stations, and that PSN accounts would no longer be required. The reaction so far… Mixed.
In fact, let’s start with the data. So far, SteamDB, which tracks Steam’s statistics, has registered the number of peak simultaneous players. 26,218. In general, the highest peak is expected to occur within a few days before the game launch begins. Especially for single player titles, the numbers can continue to increase over several days, weeks, and even months. . For example, Helldivers 2 has been climbing for quite some time.
Among all studios under Sony’s purview, INSOMNIAC Games is undoubtedly the best now. Since the acquisition of them in 2019, Sony has released two successful console titles in the solid VR title of Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Distion and STORMLANDS and the first Spider-Man remaster.
This number will rank the Spider-Man 2 of Marvel as the 10th successful play station game on the PC in terms of simultaneous player. Of course, simultaneous players are not the exact measurements of the actual copy sold. In other words, they can provide quite reasonable estimates.
For comparison, the original Marvel’s spider-man is the fourth successful PC title of PlayStation, attracting the highest number of simultaneous players of 66,436.
Marvel’s spider-man: Miles Morales is 11th, 13,539.
The current king of PlayStation PC Hill is still more than 450,000 helldivers. In terms of single player game, Tsushima’s Ghost has the most simultaneous player in the shade of more than 77,000.
Player reception is mixed
The release of Marvel’s spider-man 2 is not an ordinary swing out of hard data. In fact, only 55%of the rated playstation games are currently the lowest rated playstation game on PC. LEGO Horizon Adventures is the second lowest game to 58%. The only one that received low evaluations in PlayStation is the pistol of Helldivers 2 and the privilege DLC and The God of War: Ragnarok Soundtrack.
So what is the problem? Well, at the time of writing, the game has 3,323 reviews in the store. There seems to be one problem as the user reports that the overall performance, stuttering, light tracking does not work correctly, conflicts, and potential memory leaks.
Even people who run games on monster hardware are struggling to achieve good performance.
The good news is that people who are lucky to avoid problems are having a good time.
It’s a bit surprising that the game is having a difficult time because the PC port is processed by Nixxes. Nixxes has shown quite good results so far as we handle most of Sony’s port work.
However, it is also worth noting that the Nixxes output has increased significantly recently. Since 2021, the company has launched eight PC ports for PlayStation, three of which are in 2024. We also handle the upcoming port of the upcoming US Part 2 Remastered.
In other words, is Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 a rare hiccups of the team, or is it a signal that Nixxes is overworked and too much?
In the future, the reception of Spider-Man 2 will begin to upward as Nixxes starts to patch the game almost certainly. Other PlayStation titles have been approximately starting, and in general, the update is expected to be released soon. But it does not make excuses for poor firing. Sadly, these days, PC gamers are so familiar with games that are released in poor games.
