Spider-Man 2 is set to make its much-anticipated debut on PC on January 30, 2025, joining the ranks of other PlayStation exclusives that have transitioned to platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store. This latest installment in the beloved franchise will once again be developed by Nixxes Software, the team responsible for porting the previous two Spider-Man titles.
Expansion of the Spider-Man Universe
The announcement, made during New York Comic Con 2025, signifies a significant moment for fans, as Spider-Man 2 completes the series on Steam, alongside its predecessors, Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This move is part of a broader strategy by PlayStation to expand its reach, with notable titles such as God of War and Ghost of Tsushima also making their way to PC.
However, amidst the excitement, Insomniac has dashed hopes for a long-rumored Venom DLC, stating that there are “no additional story content planned for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.” This clarification puts an end to speculation that has lingered since last year.
In this sequel, players will continue the narrative after Miles Morales, encountering iconic villains like Venom and Kraven the Hunter. Our review described the game as “both blessed and cursed,” praising its ability to refine the established mechanics of combat and web-swinging while introducing just enough new features to keep the experience fresh and engaging.
PC Release and Community Feedback
PlayStation’s foray into PC gaming has been met with mixed reactions, particularly regarding the controversial PlayStation Network account requirements. The recent release of God of War Ragnarök on PC also faced scrutiny, with fans expressing divided opinions on the feature.
Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes, shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “Bringing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales to a new audience on PC together with Insomniac and Marvel Games has been a great experience for us. We are excited to continue this collaboration and bring Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to PC with a suite of enhanced features, including enhanced ray-tracing options, to take full advantage of a variety of setups and configurations. Stay tuned for more details on features and recommended specs closer to launch.”
As the release date approaches, players can look forward to a wealth of resources, including comprehensive guides and walkthroughs, to navigate Insomniac’s latest adventure and discover all the unique suits Spider-Man 2 has to offer.
