If you’ve been keeping an eye on the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC, you may have seen that it’s been a bit of a disaster for Sony and Insomniac Games.
Many players reported that the game has been unplayable, with swathes of them taking to Steam and leaving scathing reviews, commenting on crashes, bugged visuals, and poor optimisation.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is available now for PC.
Well, if you’re one of those players, rest assured that the developers are on the case, as a hotfix has snuck out of the studio and been implemented (thanks GameRant).
Advert
More patches are expected over the coming days, but this first one will attempt to address some of the major issues being seen.
Chief among them is a note on the ray tracing which said, “This update addressed issues that caused the game to crash when ray-tracing was enabled.”
Players were finding that by simply toggling this on, the game simply wouldn’t play or would crash frequently.
Two other updates of note are as follows: “This update introduced various crash fixes and stability improvements” and “resolved a framerate-related bug that affected certain areas.”

All games set to auto-update should have received these hotfixes, and players will hopefully see a marked improvement across the board.
We’d expect this to continue over the coming weeks as Sony won’t want one of their flagship titles struggling to satisfy players.
Marvel’s Spider-Man and its sequel have become major highlights in the PlayStation catalogue, and many fans have been waiting for this PC release for a while.
These updates will also go some way in improving the UI and connections of the Dual Sense controller to PCs through the Steam interface.

Once the game is finally stable, players will be able to enjoy one of the best adaptations of Spider-Man as he faces off against the symbiote threat of Venom.
