The PlayStation 5 has quite a few anticipated games, but one of the biggest this year was Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. With the first game and its spin-off receiving so much fan enjoyment worldwide, Insomniac Games looked to provide a bigger and better experience. This sequel is now available exclusively for the PlayStation 5. However, today, we have a new update that is being pushed out that should address more issues that fans have been vocal about.
Insomniac Games first released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 last month on October 20, 2023. However, since its release, there have been a few sets of patches. Today, we are getting our latest patch update, which will be taking players to Version 1.001.005. This patch was unveiled today from the Insomniac Games X account, which also gives us a breakdown of some of the issues that are being addressed with this latest patch. Just like with any game, some bugs and optimization issues will always arise. So, while this patch might not solve everything that fans are finding within their gameplay experience, it should hopefully cater towards solving the more common problems featured in the game today.
These issues range from Spider-Man clipping through the map, switching characters during a defeat sequence, and models not loading properly to even fixing MJ’s character from getting defeated in a single hit on higher difficulty settings. Again, this might not solve everything, but hopefully, this will avoid breaking an immersive experience. We’ll list down the official patch notes for you to view below.

In this title, players are able to take control of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they continue to fight for the safety of New York City. However, the duo will have a real fight on their hands with characters like Kraven the Hunter and the extraterrestrial Venom symbiote.
