Marvel’s Spiderman 2 Is Releasing on October 20 on PS5: Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to launch on Friday, October 20, 2023. Unlike some recent game releases, there won't be any early access period, ensuring that all players can dive into the action simultaneously. While the exact release time hasn't been officially announced by Insomniac Games, it's a safe bet to expect the typical PlayStation 5 launch schedule. This means players should be able to start their web-slinging adventure at midnight local time on October 20.

However, games often release at midnight Eastern Time (ET) across the entire U.S., which can be advantageous for players in different time zones. For instance, if you reside on the West Coast, you might be able to embark on your Spidey journey at 9 p.m. Pacific Time (PT).

Exclusivity on PlayStation 5

For those who haven't yet upgraded to the latest Sony console, there's a notable change. Unlike its predecessors, Spider-Man 2 will be exclusively playable on the PlayStation 5, marking it as a significant platform-exclusive title.

Pre-Loading Spider-Man 2

If you've pre-ordered the digital edition of Spider-Man 2, the good news is that you can already begin the pre-loading process. Simply visit the PlayStation Store on your console, and you'll find the option to pre-load the game. You can continue to pre-order the game right up until its release if you haven't already, ensuring that you can start downloading Spider-Man 2 early.

File Size: What to Expect

The initial estimate for Spider-Man 2's storage requirement was around 98 GB, as indicated on the limited edition box. However, as the pre-loading option is now available, it's evident that the actual install size is approximately 86 GB. This is more than double the size of the original Spider-Man game, which required 45 GB, and nearly twice as large as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which had a 54 GB file size.

Pre-Order Bonuses

Whether you opt for the digital or physical edition, pre-ordering Spider-Man 2 comes with enticing in-game bonuses. Pre-order customers can unlock Peter's Arachknight Suit and Miles' Shadow Spider Suit ahead of time, each with three additional color variants. Additionally, you'll have the Web Grabber available early and receive three skill points at the start of the game to give you a head start in your superhero journey.

As the countdown to the release date of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 continues, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this thrilling web-slinging saga. With enhanced graphics, captivating storytelling, and a lineup of iconic villains, it promises to be a must-play for gamers and fans of the Spider-Man franchise alike.
