Spider-Man shows in the trailer how much is in the new PC version
The former Playstation-exclusive open world adventure will now finally be available for PC players too! In the game, you swing through the urban canyons of New York City with Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, and fight all kinds of crooks. The former in particular was an absolute highlight when the Playstation was released in 2018.
In Marvel’s Spider-Man you face Mister Negative, who wants to get the criminal underworld of the Big Apple under his control. At the same time you have to overcome personal difficulties as Peter Parker.
From August 12th you can play the remastered version with all story DLCs. The big adventure around the second Spider-Man Miles Morales is not yet included, but will be released separately at the end of the year.
You can check here whether your PC has the capacity to let you swing smoothly through New York City:
