Get ready, web-heads! Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is swinging onto PC on January 30th, 2025. This highly anticipated release brings the acclaimed PlayStation 5 adventure to a new platform, offering enhanced features and graphical improvements.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2: PC Release Details
January 30, 2025 Launch Date Confirmed
Announced at New York Comic Con's Marvel Games showcase, the PC port, developed by Nixxes Software in collaboration with Insomniac Games, promises a top-tier experience. Expect ray tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and extensive graphical customization options. While the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers won't be replicated, keyboard and mouse support will be fully optimized.
Nixxes Software, renowned for its PlayStation-to-PC ports (including the Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima series), assures a seamless transition. Julian Huijbregts, Nixxes' Community Manager, highlights the team's commitment to delivering a polished PC experience.
The PC version will include all previously released content updates from the PS5 version, boasting twelve new suits (including Symbiote Suit styles), New Game+ mode, "Ultimate Levels," enhanced Photo Mode, new time-of-day options, and post-game achievements. The Digital Deluxe Edition will offer even more bonus content. However, Insomniac Games confirms no new story content will be added for the PC release.
PSN Account Requirement: A Point of Concern
A significant drawback is the mandatory PSN account requirement, mirroring a trend among recent PlayStation PC ports. This restriction potentially excludes players in regions lacking PSN access, raising concerns about accessibility. While Sony previously reversed a similar policy for Helldivers 2, the impact on player reach remains a valid criticism.
With this release, all three Insomniac Spider-Man games will be available on PC, showcasing Sony's commitment to broadening its audience. While the PSN requirement needs addressing, the overall move towards cross-platform availability is a positive step.
Game8 awarded Marvel's Spider-Man 2 an 88, praising it as a superb sequel. For a more detailed PS5 review, check out our dedicated article (link not included as per original text).
