The waiting for Spider Man 2 on the PC is almost over. The PlayStation 5 exclusive about Peter Parker’s showdown with Venom will be released on Steam in January next year. Unfortunately, a PSN login is still required.
Sony has announced its latest PC port during New York Comic Con 2024. Originally released on PS5 in October 2023, Marvels Spider Man 2 will be playable on Steam from January 30, 2025. That’s a span of just 15 months, showing that the gap between Sony’s first-party exclusives for the PS5 and eventual release for PC may be getting shorter as the company tries to find a larger audience for its pricey blockbusters .
However, Spider Man 2 on PC will continue a controversial trend of PlayStation games on Steam still requiring PSN logins, even when running offline and in single player mode. God of war Ragnarökwhich came to PC last month, suffered a slew of negative Steam reviews Backlash against the registration requirement which first became a major trouble spot earlier this year when Helldivers 2 exploded in popularity.

Spider Man 2 is bigger and prettier in every way, though its larger scope doesn’t always translate into a more impactful story or more interesting open-world exploration. However, there are some top-notch side quests and will undoubtedly benefit from numerous player mods that fans end up creating for it. Nixxes Software is working on the port, the same studio that is preparing the release Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.
Insomniac Games currently has a number of other Marvel games in the pipeline including wolverine which is expected to be released next year, and possibly in several parts Spider Man 3 and plans for X Men Games under an ongoing licensing agreement with Disney.
