Marvel's Spider-Man 2: PC Release Details

January 30, 2025 Launch Date Confirmed

Announced at New York Comic Con, the PC port, developed by Nixxes Software in collaboration with Insomniac Games, promises a polished experience. Expect ray tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and extensive graphical customization options designed to optimize performance across various PC configurations. While features like DualSense adaptive triggers and haptic feedback won't be replicated, keyboard and mouse support will be fully integrated.

Nixxes Software, known for its high-quality PC ports of PlayStation titles, assures fans of a seamless transition. Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes, highlights the team's dedication to delivering a superior PC experience.

The PC version will include all previously released content updates, boasting twelve new suits (including Symbiote Suit variations), New Game+ mode, "Ultimate Levels," enhanced Photo Mode features, 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 version.

PSN Account Requirement: A Point of Contention

A significant concern is the mandatory PSN account requirement. This limitation, absent in previous Spider-Man PC ports, restricts access for players in regions without PSN availability. This mirrors a growing trend among PlayStation PC ports, raising concerns about accessibility and player choice.

This decision follows similar requirements for titles like God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Forbidden West, sparking debate about the necessity of linking Steam accounts to PSN for single-player games.

The arrival of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC marks a significant step for Sony in expanding its reach beyond PlayStation consoles. While the PSN requirement remains a point of discussion, the game's arrival on PC is a welcome event for both existing and new fans. Game8 awarded the PS5 version an 88, praising it as a superb sequel to an already exceptional Spider-Man game.
