Yeah- tbh I can understand why they’d want to do something appreciative for the Day Ones but the Day Ones also could’ve bought it on Steam at the time.
Spiderman is a licensed property. Marvel sold time-limited video game licenses. The Activision games were never exclusive to any console because Activision had no particular stake in any one console. Then a video game license, a non-exclusive one, mind you (which means that other people can get the license and make games) was granted to Sony, who obviously does.
Thus, for the same reason 007 Goldeneye never came to playstation, Insomniac’s Spiderman games aren’t coming to Nintendo or Xbox.

Yea, big L on cuphead
all stuff that’ll be online within 24 hours, no new gameplay content
I’m glad this is the case, but still, exclusivity is bullshit.
seriously, i want to play spider-man without spending a fortune on a ps5 or a computer that can run it
but, i have the old spider-man 2 i can always play on both xbox and ps2
I mean, the new Spiderman games were made by a Sony studio and funded by Sony, so I can definitely see why those are exclusive.
but spider-man used to not be exclusive
