Prepare to unleash your inner web-slinger on PC! Sony has finally revealed the long-awaited release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC, and it’s coming sooner than you might think. The critically acclaimed PlayStation 5 exclusive will be available on January 30, 2025, through both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
This news is sure to excite PC gamers, and it’s no surprise given the success of the previous PC ports of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Once again, Nixxes Software is taking the reins for the port, promising to deliver the same level of quality and fidelity that made the previous PC versions so popular.
The announcement trailer showcased stunning visuals captured directly from the PC version, highlighting the game’s upgraded graphics and detailed environments. It’s clear that Insomniac Games has gone the extra mile to ensure that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks even better on PC than it does on the PlayStation 5.
The January 2025 release date is particularly intriguing. This timing aligns perfectly with the expected unveiling of the next generation of GPUs, the GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 8000 Series, which are rumored to be showcased at CES 2025. This strategic launch suggests that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 could serve as a benchmark for these new GPUs, showcasing their capabilities with advanced ray-tracing effects and cutting-edge technologies like DLSS 4 and FSR 4.
While the official announcement doesn’t explicitly mention these technologies, the statement about ‘enhanced ray-tracing options’ and the timing of the release strongly hint at their inclusion. With Nixxes at the helm, we can expect a comprehensive set of PC-specific features, including ultrawide support, DLSS and Frame Generation, and a plethora of graphical customization options.
Mike Fitzgerald, Core Technology Director at Insomniac, expressed his excitement for the PC release, stating, “Our amazing partners at Nixxes have once again done an incredible job bringing the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man to PC players. Our team put a lot of love into this game, and we’re excited that it will soon be enjoyed by a whole new audience with keyboard and mouse controls, ultra-widescreen support, and numerous graphical options that make it feel at home on their platform.”
While the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 won’t feature any new content, it will be available in two editions: Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition. The Digital Deluxe Edition offers a range of exclusive perks, including unique cosmetics, early unlocks, and bonus skill points to boost your web-slinging abilities.
Get ready to swing into action on PC! The wait is almost over. Mark your calendars for January 30, 2025, and prepare for a truly remarkable gaming experience.
