Summary
The latestMarvel’s Spider-Man 2update is now available to download, bringing several bug fixes and other requested improvements. Insomniac launched the latest chapter of its critically acclaimed open-world superhero series on the PlayStation 5 back in October, pitting Peter Parker and Miles Morales against classic villains like Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, and the long-teased Venom.Spider-Man 2has been a smash hit so far, selling over five million copies worldwide and ranking as one of Insominac’s highest-rated releases.
Every superhero has their flaws, though, and Insomniac has spent the past few months working to addressSpider-Man 2’s various glitches and perceived shortcomings through free downloadable update patches. The biggest of these came in March andfinally added New Game Plusand the ability to replay story missions alongside a host of new costumes, special bonus challenges, and accessibility features. Additionally,Spider-Man 2teamed up with Gameheads to sell a pair of alternate Peter and Miles skins, with the proceeds going toward helping underprivileged youth and youth of color looking to enter the tech and gaming industry.
Now Insomniac has releasedMarvel’s Spider-Man 2Version 1.002.003, an update patch that fixes bugs and glitches across a variety of different areas. One of these fixes corrects an issue players have been encountering with some of the game’s costumes, particularly Andrew Garfield’supdated costume fromThe Amazing Spider-Man 2, in which Spidey’s mask would appear unusually wavy. Other problems addressed in the new update include some users’ save data disappearing, custom accessibility presets resetting upon death, and the newly added Screen Reader feature not properly reading certain in-game text.
Fans are still eagerly awaiting news onSpider-Man 2’s post-launch story DLC, which was mentioned in the now-infamous Insomniac data breach last December. While nothing official has been confirmed by Insomniac, a more recent leak hinted that Janice Lincoln, aka The Beetle, could be the main antagonist of this DLC campaign. OtherSpider-Man 2DLC speculation suggests appearances from Carnage or Daredevil or even a guest cameo from Wolverine ahead of his own titular game from Insomniac.
While gamers wait for a more legitimate confirmation about anynewSpider-Man 2story content, they can at least enjoy the smaller adjustments made to the game in its latest update patch.Spider-Man 2is already an impressive technical showcase of the PS5’s capabilities, and the ongoing wave of fixes and refinements will help verify that Peter and Miles have a smoother time swinging from the rooftops above New York City.
