Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Is Coming to PC: What You Need to Know

After much anticipation, one of Sony’s flagship PlayStation titles, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, is finally making its way to PC! Starting January 30, 2025, Peter Parker and Miles Morales’ latest adventure will no longer be a PlayStation exclusive, allowing a whole new audience to experience the game. Here’s everything you need to know to get ready for this superhero epic.


Release Time: When Can You Play?

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 unlocks on Steam at 3 p.m. UK time, which translates to 10 a.m. Eastern and 7 a.m. Pacific. While Steam doesn’t show an exact countdown, this timing should give you a good idea of when to expect access. For those using Epic Games, the unlock time is expected to align closely with Steam’s.

Unfortunately, there’s no preload option for the game, meaning you’ll need to wait until it unlocks to start downloading. With a 140 GB storage requirement, you might want to prepare for some additional wait time unless you have a blazing-fast internet connection.


System Requirements: What You Need

The good news? Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has relatively forgiving PC requirements aside from the hefty storage size. Much like its predecessors, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man Miles Morales, the sequel is expected to run smoothly on a wide range of PCs and even handheld gaming devices.

The game supports modern upscaling tech like AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS, and NVIDIA DLSS, making it accessible to more players. Minimum CPU and GPU requirements are modest, so most desktop and laptop users should be able to enjoy the game without major issues.


Handheld Compatibility: What to Expect

If you’re planning to play on handheld devices like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, there’s good news. Previous Spider-Man titles ran exceptionally well on handhelds, and early signs for Spider-Man 2 are promising. While Steam Deck compatibility hasn’t been confirmed yet, the inclusion of AMD FSR and Frame Generation technology bodes well for performance on smaller systems.

Devices like the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, which have more power than the Steam Deck, are likely to offer an even smoother experience.


Final Thoughts

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is shaping up to be an outstanding addition to PC gaming. Whether you’re exploring New York City on a high-powered gaming rig or a handheld device, this title promises to deliver thrilling web-slinging action. Stay tuned for more updates, including performance reviews for both desktop PCs and handhelds.
