If this leak is true,Marvel’sSpider-Manwould certainly be a nice game to add to the service. The PS4 has long been able to claim it has loads of high-end exclusives, but it doesn’t release those games on the launch day onto the PlayStation Now service day and date by any means.Sony states that it doesn’t want to compete with the Xbox Games Pass platform, and in this way, Xbox certainly has the upper hand.
PlayStation Now lowered its pricingsemi-recently at a $10 per month price tag, which matches the Xbox Games Pass program, perhaps to shadow compete with Xbox Games Pass after all. The price point of the service is enticing, as long as the games are there as well.
Sony has been adding more games as of late, with March seeing the addition ofControlandShadow of the Tomb Raider, andHorizon Zero Dawnfinally was added to PlayStation Nowrecently as well. Games are what players care about. But the timing of said games matters as well. Having Xbox Games Pass games on day one in the case of exclusives is massively important, as opposed to having to wait months and even years for those games on the ironically named PS Now.
Marvel’s Spider-Manis a splendid video game. There was a time in which comic book video games were not in a good place, where most fun comic book games were simply arcade beat-em-ups. ThankfullyBatman: Arkham Asylumhelped usher in a new era of the genre, andMarvel’s Spider-Manwould be considered amongthe top super-hero games of all time. If the game is being released on PlayStation Now - take it with a grain of salt as it is just a rumor - it would be wonderful for fans to be able to enjoy the game through the service. But regardless, if anyone has the opportunity to enjoy the wise-cracking web-slinging adventure, they should.
Spider-Manreleased for the PlayStation 4 in September 2018.
