Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a game that fans have been eagerly waiting for and is scheduled to be launched on the PS5 this year. The official release date was revealed during The Game Awards presentation, in June 2023. Unlike its predecessor, this anticipated game will be exclusive to the PS5 and won’t be available on the PS4. Excitingly the trailers have already given us glimpses of gameplay features and exciting previews.
Spider-Man 2 is currently exclusive to PlayStation. There is a possibility that it could become available on PC in the future. Sony has been known to bring its first-party games to the PC platform as we have already seen with both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. However, it’s unlikely that this will happen until, a year after the game’s release.

Excitingly, there’s much gameplay from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for players to dissect. Notably, Peter Parker’s Spider-Man gets to wear the symbiote suit. Wearing the suit seems to add new combat skills, such as a massive slam attack for defeating multiple enemies simultaneously.
When it comes to traversing the game world, both Miles and Peter are equipped with wing suits to increase their speed. These suits are showcased in the game trailer, helping ride air currents and linking seamlessly with web-swinging.
Spiderman 2 PS5 bundle details
In terms of how much the Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bundle costs, Insomniac Games and Sony have unveiled a limited-edition Spider-Man 2 PS5 package inclusive of a digital version of the console fitted with unique console covers and a matching DualSense controller. The console is covered in a depiction of the symbiote creeping towards a White Spider icon, while the controller equates the symbiote virtually taking over the controller.
As per the report, Sony is likely to price the controller at $74.99 and the Spider-Man 2 PS5 cover at $65.99. Sony will hopefully deduct the cost as everything forms part of a bundle, so we can expect the total cost of the Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle to be between $659 and $679.
Regarding the striking red and black PS5 model complete with a matching DualSense, pre-orders commence on July 28 via PlayStation Direct and select retailers, although the price remains undisclosed. The special edition console is set to release on September 1, well before the actual game. It comes with an early redeemable download code for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which goes live on October 20. It even features various pre-order bonuses.
Spider-Man 2 enthusiasts who already own a PS5 can buy the unique DualSense and console covers separately. Sony has confirmed that these special edition covers for both standard and digital versions of the PS5 will be available individually. The pre-order and release schedules are consistent with the complete bundle. Sony emphasizes that the accessory designs capture the symbiote’s intensity, transformation, and power capabilities.
