Marvel's Spider-Man 2 free download quietly released, you can grab now

It was a rocky start for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC when it released a couple of months ago, launching with many bugs and issues that had fans up in arms.

Slowly but surely, the game is becoming the adventure it was meant to be, after several updates that make it the title that impressed us back on PlayStation 5.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a great adventure for fans of the web-head

A new update has snuck out onto PC through the various channels, and improves many of the issues players once struggled with.

‘Title Update 7’ should automatically download, and it features a wealth of changes and tweaks.

Nixxes, responsible for the PC port, has detailed the fixes, which include, fixing shadow flickers that occurred when Ambient Occlusion was set to HBAO+ or XeGTAO.

They’ve squashed a bug that prevented system settings being saved when changing display modes, too.

Ray-tracing has had a number of fixes, which should allow for more stable framerates and gameplay - this was perhaps the biggest complaint from fans.

Steam players will notice the difference upon next session, and Nixxes will keep working away on quality of life improvements, such as resolving issues thrown up whenever a player would Alt+Tab out of the game.

Another fix, is a tweak to the camera for mini-games, which was causing frustrations for many, as the FOV was messing with the UI while playing.

All of this should make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 run that much better, and be the game Sony initially set out to release.

You can check out all the patch notes for yourself - hopefully you’ll see any issues you had have been fixed up.

It’s always disappointing when games release and haven’t quite been optimised well enough for PC, but it’s great that so many fixes are coming down the pipe to keep players swinging through New York.
