Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Release Date and System Requirements

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a critically acclaimed action-adventure game from Insomniac, following the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales. And now, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is about to be released on PC.

I think this is a perfect release schedule (about 12-15 months) from PS to PC. It helps keeps PS hardware relevant while still enjoying sales from the PC-only fanbase.

The consumer-friendly gamer-first spin should be so that the PC version is polished and optimized properly for the platform. I am confident that is the true reason, too - Nixxes is only so big and can only handle so many projects at one time.

It should never be for the sake of gatekeeping software just to keep certain hardware relevant. Especially where layoffs are so prone to happen, as we saw at studios like Insomniac despite the records they shattered with Spider-Man 2.

"It should never be for the sake of gatekeeping software just to keep certain hardware relevant."

For a hardware manufacturer, it certainly should be about keeping your product relevant. What else are they in business for?

Tacoboto471d ago

I did say "consumer-friendly gamer-first" not "go go corpo!"

"What else are they in business for?"

Gee, they have the quickest selling title in PlayStation's history with Spider-Man 2, then still laid people off a month or two later, across PS Studios as a whole and at Insomniac!

So I don't know, what would you say, where the *best in history* still immediately results in firings?

raWfodog471d ago (Edited 471d ago )

How do you take my original comment about PS to PC release schedule helping a hardware/electronics manaufacturer keep their product relevant, and my second comment alluding to the same thing, and twist the debate into how people are getting laid off? What does that have to do with any of my comments?

But since you want to talk about layoffs, you do know that the entire industry is laying people off regardless of how well they are performing, right? Doesn't MS/Xbox constantly hype up how well they are doing revenue-wise? Aren't they still laying people off?

"The official system requirements for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are yet to be revealed, but here is what is generally expected for them to be"

So this article is fake news?

TheColbertinator471d ago

lol exactly. Where did they dig up their numbers too?

This is straight up spam

PRIMORDUS471d ago

"Requires 3rd-Party Account: PlayStation Network (Supports Linking to Steam Account)" Actually you don't need that shit on PC 🏴‍☠️😂

Expected System Requirements
The official system requirements for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are yet to be revealed, but here is what is generally expected for them to be:

Minimum:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X / Intel Core i5-8600K
RAM: 8GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 / Nvidia GeForce RTX 1060 (6GB VRAM)
Storage: 75GB SSD required

Recommended:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X / Intel Core i7-12700
RAM: 16GB
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 (8GB VRAM)
Storage: 75GB SSD required

DivineHand125470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

Those numbers are insane. A Ryzen 7 5800x is too much for this type of game. Even the Rx 6800 is also a bit much. That GPU rivals the compute power of the PS5 Pro. Not many gamers on PC will be able to meet the recommended requirements. Steam deck and other handheld gamers are of luck.

Hopefully the official numbers will be more reasonable.

I expect it to be around the specs of the recently released God of War Ragnarok. See below

minimum requirements
Memory: 8 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K or Ryzen 3 1200
File Size: 190 GB
OS: Windows 10

recommended specs
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or Radeon RX 5700
CPU: Intel Core i5-8600 or Ryzen 5 3600
File Size: 190 GB
OS: up to Windows 11

Solid line up.

I knew TDU SC eventually come on PS Plus. Glad I cancelled preorder for Astro or instead.
I heard TDU SC was a mess at launch. Did it improve? I'm going to give it a try

Grayson07687d ago

This is unrelated to the actual post, but can anyone tell me what happened to this site? It used to be the best place to get news, but now it seems like barely any big news comes through, there's little discussion, and it seems to be dying overall. I know there was awhile where I couldn't access the site, but that's been taken care of for a long time. What happened?

Nyxus87d ago

There are a lot of technical issues and it doesn't seem there are many people left who approve stories, so they take a long time to get approved, if they get approved at all.

Eonjay87d ago

Money. It was sold to someone who wanted to maximize the ad revenue while investing nothing into the actual site. Money killed it.

lodossrage87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

I'll add to what Nyxus and Eonjay said

Another reason is trolls are allowed to run rampant. So the few times discussions might happen, they get derailed fast.
There's also the fact that they're more strict on what gets approved now compared to what they were back in the day.

1nsomniac87d ago

Site’s been slowly turning to garbage over the past 5 years. It’s currently almost unusable. Full of utter shit adverts covering everything. You cant even access your profile notifications and it’s been like that for what must be over a year now. It really has become an amateur shit show here.

maximusprime_87d ago

True, I tried opening "my submission" and it opened someone else's list of submissions...

Chocoburger86d ago

An endless amount of rude trolls, along with terrible and inconsistent moderation. I once got banned for saying S***, but then there are other people who can drop F-bombs and not get banned. Mods also punish the wrong people often, just stupidity all around. I stopped submitting stories and I rarely comment these days due to the lack of proper moderation.

DEKUX1286d ago

Always thought this was just a Sony pony troll site lol. But it used to be nuts. I used to check this site every day same as siliconera. I do still check here and there but yeah ain’t what it used to be

Eonjay87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Love the article description!

Also someone had the foresight to put Neva on there... and monter hunter Stories. Solid additions all around.

MrBaskerville86d ago

They had a strong classic library last year, I don't hope they plan to double down on disney releases again this year, like they've done before.

Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X

YouTube tech analysis channel ElAnalistaDeBits has made a comparison video, showing off Marvel's Spider-Man 2 running on Steam Deck, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PS5 (performance mode)

A noticeable improvement over the Steam Deck, but those reflections are hilarious. You're definitely paying for better quality with that hefty price tag. I do like that density isn't really affected by quality, though.

darthv72207d ago

For the performance they were going for, increasing the reflections would not have been viable. The deck and rog can certainly be taken further into the quality mode, but obviously performance takes a huge hit..... but it does look good on a little screen.

shadowT207d ago

Yes, it runs somehow in low graphic resolution and with very limited effects. $1000 for this quality?

drivxr207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

Looks impressive for a handheld that lets you play anywhere other than a living room or a desk.

XBManiac207d ago

It works best with Steam OS, so don't despair.

darthv72207d ago (Edited 207d ago )
