PlayStation has officially confirmed that the highly acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, previously exclusive to PlayStation 5, will be making its way to PCs. The announcement was made through a blog post, revealing that PC users can expect to swing into action starting January 30, 2025. This release marks an exciting opportunity for gamers who have been eagerly waiting to experience this blockbuster title on their computers.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be accessible through two major digital storefronts: Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players can begin adding the game to their wishlists right away, allowing them to receive updates and notifications about its release. The excitement is palpable among the gaming community as they anticipate the arrival of this much-anticipated title on PC.
Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing this beloved game to a broader audience. In his statement, he noted, “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.” This collaboration highlights the commitment of developers to provide high-quality gaming experiences to players across different platforms.
Marvel has announced that two editions of Spider-Man 2 will be available for PC users: the Standard Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition. Each edition offers a unique set of features that cater to the preferences of different gamers.
The Standard Edition of Spider-Man 2 will include the complete game, alongside all the latest updates that were released for the PS5 version. This edition will feature:
14 new suits for Spider-Man.
