Summary
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans grow concerned for its PC release as Insomniac remains quiet on the upcoming launch.
- There is currently no option to pre-purchase Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC and no system requirements have been shared.
- The highly-anticipated sequel is supposed to launch on PC on January 30, 2025.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is due to release on January 30 for PC, but fans are growing increasingly concerned as the critically acclaimed sequel is still not available to pre-order and has no confirmed system requirements. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would be the latest entry in the series to be making its way to PC all the way back in October 2024, but has remained oddly quiet on the topic ever since.
With Sony ramping up the number of PlayStation titles it brings to PC in recent years, Marvel's Spider-Man was one of the many first-party PlayStation games to come to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The remastered version of Marvel's Spider-Man was a big hit on PC, which eventually led to the sequel, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, also making its way to the platform with a wide variety of graphical improvements. While these titles were released first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, PC fans have had to wait quite a few years for each of the respective games to come to the platform.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fans Are Worried About the Game's PC Launch
Although there was an almost four-year gap between the launch of Marvel's Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PC, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans won't have to wait as long. Insomniac confirmed back in October 2024 that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would be coming to PC on January 30, 2025. With the release date now just a matter of days away, fans are growing increasingly concerned as the studio still hasn't made the game available for pre-order, even though it has pre-order bonuses attached, nor have the system requirements been made available to the public.
Given that Insomniac and Nixxes Software have released two other Spider-Man games on PC, fans are concerned as both of the previous releases have seen system requirements shared long before the official launch. The official Steam store page for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 also states that players can pre-purchase the game to unlock an Arachknight suit for Peter with three color variants, a Shadow-Spider suit for Miles with three color variants, an early unlock for the Web Grabber gadget, and three skill points, but it's currently impossible to pre-order the title as it is only available to wishlist at the time of writing this article.
Rumors recently began circulating that Insomniac could be in the early development stages for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. A new job listing indicated that the studio is in the early stages of developing a new AAA title, and given past leaks, it's not hard to work out that this could be for a new Marvel's Spider-Man game. The studio has been hard at work on a new Wolverine game for the past few years, while a planned DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was also canceled. According to a massive leak in 2023, the studio's roadmap revealed that it was aiming to release Marvel's Wolverine in 2026, followed by Marvel's Spider-Man 3 in 2028.
