So, it could be any number of things, but yes, I think it’s unusual that Spider-Man isn’t topping God of War here, and can’t make it inside the Steam top 10 list. This may be anecdotal, but I just noticed that I didn’t hear nearly as much about it until it was live, and I’m curious if the marketing spends were equivalent, or dramatically different. Finally, I just don’t know if Sony promoted Spider-Man’s release on PC as much of an “event” as when God of War or Horizon came to PC.I’m also told that regional pricing for Spider-Man is a lot worse than past releases, for some reason. If we were back in 2020 or 2021 when gaming spending was surging, we would probably see higher numbers from Spider-Man here, which is charging $10 more than God of War did in the first place. Inflation is hitting hard, and pretty much all spending has decreased in the gaming sector with few exceptions. So that may have inspired a surge in PC interest so players can finally get to experience what all the fuss is about. God of War’s popularity has snowballed since release, between its GOTY wins and the declaration that some may consider it one of the best games of the whole past generation, if not the best.Except with Steam here, where at least so far, it’s debuting behind God of War.
