Marvel’s Spider-Man’s remastered edition finally arrives on PC next week after its surprise port announcement during the PlayStation State of Play in June. With it will come an exceptional resolution and frame rate, ultra-wide monitor support, and ray-traced reflections with players capable of pushing its graphical fidelity even further with their own hardware.
This is good news for fans in general, but particularly for those who have fantastic PC hardware or fans who were not previously able to playMarvel’s Spider-Man Remastereddue to its console and platform exclusivity. But with great power comes great responsibility, and that power is now being handed to players with the full functionality of potential mods inMarvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s future on PC. Mods had been created through the PS4 edition ofMarvel’s Spider-Man, and those are now being celebrated ahead of the remaster’s release on PC.

YouTuber jedijosh920 shares a compilation edit featuringmany PS4 mods forMarvel’s Spider-Man. These mods range diversely from traumatizing to hilarious, such as one of a hideously disfigured Peter Parker talking to Otto Octavius and one of Spider-Man ensnaring Aunt May in webbing instead of the Shocker. Several mods involved the Kingpin, whether he was playable and could web-swing or given a new makeover to look like Thanos. Further, another peculiar mod sees Spider-Man replaced with Uncle Ben’s tombstone.
Mods also made Doctor Octopus, Black Cat, and Harry Osborn playable, with Harry’s model being derived from his naked, symbiote-bonded model seen inMarvel’s Spider-Man. The Raimi movies’ “pizza time” gag is perpetuated in a mod where Peter wears a pizza shirt and pizza shoes to demonstrate his love for it. Ever sinceMarvel’s Spider-Manlaunched, fans have wanted a black-suited Spider-Man costume in the game, and mods have made that a possibility.
Martin Li’s Inner Demons inMarvel’s Spider-Manare substituted in jedijosh920’s compilation with repeated models of the fake Spider-Man players encounter, storming Grand Central Station and pistol-whipping police officers. It is already impressive seeing what was possible in terms of mods when it came to the PS4 edition ofMarvel’s Spider-Man, and the potential for what fans will come up with forMarvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredon PC is now infinite.
Indeed, there will be nosuit requests from theMarvel’s Spider-Mancommunitythat cannot be achieved, and these mods will likely extend the game’s shelf life untilMarvel’s Spider-Man 2releases sometime next year. Overall,Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC releaseis a fantastic opportunity for fans new and old to experience it.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredis out now for PS5, with a PC version launching on August 12.
