Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Release Date Set for January 2025

Marvel's Spider-Man 2: PC Release Date Set for January 30, 2025 – But With a Catch

Get ready, web-slingers! Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the critically acclaimed PlayStation 5 title, is making its highly anticipated debut on PC on January 30, 2025. Announced at New York Comic Con during the Marvel Games showcase, this launch follows the successful PC ports of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, and promises a similarly enhanced experience.

Developed and optimized by Nixxes Software in close collaboration with Insomniac Games, PlayStation, and Marvel Games, the PC version boasts ray tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and extensive graphical customization options. Nixxes, renowned for their PlayStation-to-PC porting expertise (Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima), ensures a smooth and optimized experience. While features like DualSense adaptive triggers and haptic feedback won't be replicated, keyboard and mouse controls and ultrawide support are key selling points.

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

A significant caveat: the PC version requires a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. This requirement, mirroring a trend in recent PlayStation PC ports (God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, etc.), effectively restricts access for players in regions without PSN availability. While Sony previously reversed a similar PSN requirement for Helldivers 2, the ongoing concern remains a barrier to entry for a substantial portion of the potential PC player base.

Despite this limitation, the arrival of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC marks a substantial step in Sony's broadening of its gaming reach. With all three Insomniac Spider-Man titles now available on PC, the platform's accessibility expands significantly. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, the January 2025 release date is one to circle on your calendar. Game8 awarded the PS5 version an 88, praising it as a superb sequel to an already exceptional Spider-Man game.
