Excitement is building as *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2* prepares to make its thrilling jump from PlayStation to PC, with an official release date set for January 30, 2025. Announced at the Marvel Games showcase during New York Comic Con, this eagerly anticipated sequel follows in the footsteps of its successful predecessors, *Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered* and *Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales*, both of which made successful transitions to the PC platform.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Release Date: January 30, 2025

The PC version of *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2* is being meticulously crafted by Nixxes Software, in collaboration with Insomniac Games, PlayStation, and Marvel Games. Known for their expertise in porting PlayStation titles to PC, Nixxes is ensuring that the game comes packed with modern features such as ray-tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and a plethora of graphical options tailored for the PC environment.

"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 at Nixxes," stated Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes, in a press release on PlayStation’s Blog. Core Technology Director at Insomniac Games, Mike Fitzgerald, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the PC port's enhancements designed to make the game feel at home on the platform.

While the PC version promises a superior visual and gameplay experience, some PlayStation 5-specific features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback from the DualSense controller won't be available. However, PC players can look forward to all content updates released since the PS5 version's launch, including twelve new suits, Symbiote Suit styles, New Game+ mode, and "Ultimate Levels." Additional post-launch features like new time-of-day options, post-game achievements, and enhanced Photo Mode will also be included, with more perks for those opting for the Digital Deluxe Edition.

Despite the excitement, it's worth noting that the PC port will not feature new story content, a decision that, while disappointing for some, aligns with Insomniac's approach to maintaining the integrity of the original narrative.

The Controversial PSN Requirement for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC

A significant caveat to the PC release of *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2* is the requirement for a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. This policy, which was not enforced for earlier titles in the series, poses a barrier for players in approximately 170 countries without access to PSN. This trend of requiring a PSN account for PlayStation PC ports began with *Helldivers 2*, though Sony reversed the decision for that title, the issue remains unresolved for other games.

Other titles like *God of War Ragnarök*, *Horizon Forbidden West*, the *Until Dawn* remake, and *Ghost of Tsushima* have also adopted this policy, leading to questions about the necessity of a PSN account for single-player experiences devoid of online multiplayer features.

With the PC release of *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2*, Sony continues its effort to bring its exclusive franchises to a broader audience. While the PSN requirement remains a point of contention, the move to PC is a commendable step towards inclusivity. Fans, both returning and new, eagerly await January 2025 to don the suits of Peter and Miles once again.
