'Marvel’s Spider-Man 2' On PC: Why Spidey Fans Need To Play It

If you have been waiting to bag a PlayStation 5 Pro solely to play Spider-Man 2, wait before you hit the ‘Buy’ button. 

Almost a year ago, Peter Parker and Miles Morales came together for a fresh set of adventures on the screens of Sony’s Playstation 5 consoles. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offered Spidey fans the ultimate web-slinging action fest by bringing both flavours of Spider-Man together, pitting them against some of the deadliest villains from the Spidey universe. 

Now, this action-adventure title is coming to PC. Spider-Man 2 will no longer be a PS5 exclusive. 

Announced at the New York Comic Con 2025, Sony has given a release date for the PC version of its latest Spidey-flick. The announcement was a bittersweet moment too for existing players on the PlayStation platform since Sony didn’t express any interest in bringing the much-awaited Venom DLC pack. 

Nonetheless, the most ambitious Spider-Man video game is coming out in 2025 and if you adore the adventures of Peter or Miles on the silver screen, this video game could be exactly what the doctor ordered. 

Spoiler Alert: There’s a healthy dose of Venom in the gameplay. 

Hence, without further ado, let’s look at everything that Spidey fans can expect to see on the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

A brief look into Spider-Man 2’s plot

Developed by Insomniac Games, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set in the aftermath of the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, with both predecessors already available for PC gamers. Spider-Man 2 brings together Peter Parker and Miles Morales against a vibrant and living backdrop of New York City, fighting some of the deadliest villains from Marvel’s universe like Kraven The Hunter and Venom. 

Spicing up the plot further is Peter Parker’s personal struggles with the symbiote suit and his personal life. We also see similar struggles in Miles’ side of the story. The game gives unique powers and abilities for both Spidey characters to defeat the mighty villains. 

When fighting duties aren’t available, players can choose between both of these characters to explore the living New York City, acting as the familiar friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
