Arguably one of the best commercially and critically received superhero series of all time, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 puts an emphatic exclamation mark on that statement. Not only does Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 dramatically raise the stakes compared to the previous two games in the series, but a massively expanded open world coupled with an eye-searing wealth of PC-centric improvements courtesy of Nixxes Software all add up to what must certainly be one of the best superhero games of all time. Here’s everything you need to know as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings onto PC.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Release Date
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 received its full release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 30, 2025. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was previously released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 as a console exclusive in October 2023.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Enhancements

Ported to the PC platform by code wizards Nixxes Software, it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC boasts a whole heap of technical enhancements that aren’t available on the original PlayStation 5 version of the game. Essentially identical to what the two previous Marvel’s Spider-Man titles boasted on PC, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brings support for ultrawide monitors, allowing players to leverage 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, 32:9, and 48:9 ratio-based resolutions with triple monitor setups using NVIDIA Surround or AMD Eyefinity. Further afield, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also looks set to robustly support the image upscaling and frame generation technologies embedded within NVIDIA’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, while ultra-high detail settings allow for the sort of improved levels of shadow and ray tracing detail that simply wouldn’t be possible in the PlayStation 5 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Story

Easily one of the most epic superhero titles of all time and neatly knitting together several teased storylines from both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 picks up roughly ten months after the events chronicled in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. With Peter Parker and Miles Morales now not only good friends but joint superhero crime fighters as New York’s resident Spider-Men, Insomniac’s sequel pits the Big Apple’s superhero duo against the extremely dangerous Kraven the Hunter, a trophy-hunting mercenary with a private army of savages that his sights set on hunting down the strongest prey that New York City has to offer. Meanwhile, Peter Parker’s childhood friend, Harry Osborn, has now returned from his hiatus – allowing the two to reconnect all the while a shadowy, alien foe manifests itself and threatens to upend everything Peter, Miles and all of their loved ones know.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Gameplay

As a direct sequel to the previous two games in the series, Marvel’s Spider-Man certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to the core gameplay. This is to say that the third-person, open-world superhero shenanigans which have Spidey smacking around foes and completing a raft of missions, side-missions and activities remain very much untouched here. That said, there are several sizable improvements that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brings over its immediate predecessors.
The first and most obvious new feature is the ability to switch between the two Spider-Men protagonists on the fly when exploring the width and breadth of open-world New York City. Not only do each of the Spider-Men have their own missions and double-team special moves, but so too do they also possess their own skill, combat and ability trees as well as a third shared skill tree, providing players with ample progression opportunities to keep things appropriately compelling.
In terms of combat and exploration, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 innovates in both areas in some quite subtle ways. In the realms of combat, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 introduces a new parry mechanic that allows both Peter and Miles to parry certain strong attacks at the last second before immediately retaliating with a devastating strike of their own. When it comes to stealth and exploration, both Spider-Men are now capable of laying down Web Lines between walls and other structures which in turn provide an additional wealth of stealthy opportunities for either evading foes or unleashing a range of new silent takedowns against them.
Finally, the open world that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 boasts is also dramatically upgraded and expanded over its predecessor. Not only does the improved city and ray tracing detail result in a much more evocative depiction of modern-day New York City, but so does the fact that the entirely new boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn are now represented and are ripe for exploration and saving.
