Marvel's Spider-Man 2: PC Launch and Features

January 30th, 2025: The PC Release Date

The official PC release date for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is January 30th, 2025, as announced at New York Comic Con. Developed and optimized by Nixxes Software in collaboration with Insomniac Games, PlayStation, and Marvel Games, the PC version promises enhanced visuals and features.

Expect ray tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and extensive graphical customization options. While features like DualSense adaptive triggers and haptic feedback won't be replicated, keyboard and mouse controls will be fully optimized for a seamless PC experience.

“Bringing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales to PC with Insomniac and Marvel Games has been fantastic,” stated Nixxes Community Manager Julian Huijbregts. Insomniac's Mike Fitzgerald added that the PC port will deliver a tailored experience for the platform.

The PC release will include all post-launch content from the PS5 version, including twelve new suits (featuring Symbiote Suit styles), New Game+ mode, "Ultimate Levels," updated time-of-day options, post-game achievements, and enhanced Photo Mode features. The Digital Deluxe Edition will offer even more. However, no new story content will be added.

The PSN Requirement: A Point of Concern

A significant drawback is the requirement of a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, mirroring a trend in recent PlayStation PC ports. This excludes players in regions without PSN access, raising concerns about accessibility. While Sony previously reversed a similar policy for Helldivers 2, the issue remains a point of contention for players.

This requirement affects single-player titles like God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima, prompting questions about the necessity of linking Steam accounts to PSN.

Conclusion: A Promising Release with Room for Improvement

With Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch, all three Insomniac Spider-Man titles will be available on PC, expanding Sony's reach beyond PlayStation consoles. While the PSN requirement needs addressing, the commitment to bringing exclusive franchises to PC is a positive step. January 2025 can't arrive soon enough for many eager players. Game8 awarded the PS5 version an 88, praising it as a superb sequel.
