Marvel's Spider-Man 2 update free to download now for PlayStation users

2023 was an amazing year for video game releases, however, it did our ever-expanding pile of shame no favours whatsoever thanks to the likes of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Last year, we were blessed with Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Alan Wake 2, to name a few. 2023 was so good, that the existence of Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 remake and even Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 may have briefly slipped our mind when thinking of the best games that year had to offer.

Check out the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 trailer below!

Developed by Insomniac Games, in our review of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we said: “This is an amazing fantasy come to life and realised like never before. Insomniac Games has crafted yet another heartfelt Spider-Man story bursting with twists, turns, and show-stopping spectacle.”

Not only did we score Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 a worthy 9/10, but it also rated highly on aggregate websites such as Metacritic with a score of 90 earning the “Must-Play” accolade. So if for whatever reason you’ve not played Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or its first game for that matter, you need to change that fact ASAP.

Yet, no matter how much a game may or may not achieve near perfection, post-launch updates are often required to fix previously unforeseen issues, even for a game such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. In a rare exception, post-launch updates do bring free DLC from time to time, rather than just fixes.

The latest patch has now been deployed for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and while it doesn't bring any new DLC this time, it does fix several meddling bugs. Most notably, patch v1.002.003 fixes issues related to the New Game Plus mode, and adds new accessibility options as well as improving overall stability.

The latest update will download the moment you boot up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 with an internet connection. That’s unless you’ve already downloaded the patch while your PlayStation 5 has been in sleep mode and if that’s the case, you’ll be good to go.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is out now exclusively on PlayStation 5.
