It's surprising, perhaps even amazing: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/the-amazing-spider-man-2) is currently listed as releasing today on the Xbox One Store in the US, despite Activision's dithering and seeming postponement two weeks ago (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/04/17/the-amazing-spider-man-2-wont-swing-onto-xbox-one-at-launch/). Beenox's adventure is on the Xbox Games Store priced $60, and some players have apparently alreadypurchased (http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2014/04/29/xbox-one-version-of-the-amazing-spider-man-2-suddenly-available-to-download/82958/), downloaded (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=809797) and started playing it (http://www.twitch.tv/hannibal615) on Xbox One. We've reached out to Activision to clarify what's going on.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2's arrival on Xbox One was, much like Peter Parker, up in the air after Activision wouldn't commit to the game being on the system at launch. "We are working with Microsoft in an effort to release The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game on Xbox One," the publisher told Joystiq in a statement on April 17. "Currently, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and the PC on April 29, 2014 as previously announced."
It's a curious situation: There's been no official word from Activision yet about the Xbox One version releasing today, and Xbox One boxes and logos remain unseen (http://www.theamazingspidermangame.com/#!/buy) on the game's official site. Meanwhile, retailers Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-2-Xbox-One/dp/B00FRESTZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398760272&sr=8-1&keywords=amazing+spider-man+2+xbox+one) and GameStop (http://www.amazon.com/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-2-Xbox-One/dp/B00FRESTZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398760272&sr=8-1&keywords=amazing+spider-man+2+xbox+one)have it listed to release on July 1.
