Spider-Man 2 PC Release Hacked in One Hour

The PC version of *Spider-Man 2* was released on Steam and the Epic Games Store without any protective measures in place, making it impossible for the game to be hacked prior to its launch. The absence of pre-order and pre-download options, coupled with the game's hefty 140-gigabyte size, contributed to this unique release strategy.

Despite these measures, hackers managed to download and crack the game's distribution just an hour after its release. As anticipated, *Spider-Man 2* lacked complex defense systems, making it vulnerable to such attacks.

Sony took a modest approach to advertising the project, and the system requirements for *Spider-Man 2* were only revealed a day before the game hit the PC market. On Steam, *Spider-Man 2* currently ranks seventh among Sony's major releases, trailing behind titles like *God of War*, *Horizon*, and even *Days Gone*.

Initial player feedback has been underwhelming, with the game garnering only 55% positive reviews from 1,280 opinions at the time of this post. Common complaints include optimization issues, crashes, and various bugs.

In contrast, *Spider-Man Remastered* continues to dominate as the top performer in the series on PC, having once achieved a peak of over 66,000 concurrent players. Whether *Spider-Man 2* can approach the success of its predecessor will become clearer over the upcoming Friday and weekend. If the current sales trend persists, the game has a promising chance to achieve respectable results.
