You can swing your way through the boroughs of New York City as Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and thanks to the graphical fidelity of the PlayStation 5, Marvel's Spider-Man 2's setting looks glorious. Of course, because of how detailed the East Coast city looks, players will want to utilize the game's photo mode to snap some nice pics. Being able to change the time of day will be useful for those wanting to get the perfect shot in Spider-Man 2.

The feature to change the time of day in the game was previously unavailable (even though some players have discovered exploits to do so). But with the latest update for Insomniac's open sandbox superhero 'venture, players can now pop into the settings and change the time of day to fit the vibe they're looking for. However, you can only access the setting in a New Game Plus file.

You can't change the time of day in the main story because there are certain story moments tied to the time of day.

How to Change the Time of Day in Spiderman 2

In order to change the time of day in Spider-Man 2, you'll need to first complete the main story and roll credits so that you can load a New Game Plus file. Starting a new playthrough will carry over your unlocked suits and upgrades.

Once you're in your New Game Plus file, you just need to follow these steps to change the time of day:

  • Press the Options button on the DualSense controller.
  • This will open the Pause menu.
  • Click on Settings.
  • Click on Gameplay.
  • Time of Day will be the first option underneath Gameplay Settings.
  • There will be a couple of options to choose from. The game will automatically transition once you change the time without needing a loading screen.
  • The options are Default, Day, Night, Morning, Sunrise, Sunset, Dusk, and Overcast.
