Insomniac Games has revealed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be playable from start to finish without a patch. However, they recommend that players update the game to version 1.001.002 in order to get the “best experience.”
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the long-anticipated follow-up to Spider-Man for the PS4. It also follows up Spider-Man: Miles Morales on the PlayStation 4 and 5. The game will feature Miles Morales and Peter Parker as playable characters and include several new mechanics and characters, including the monstrous Venom and deadly Kraven. The game will be available exclusively on the PlayStation 5 on October 20.
Spider-Man 2 Playable Without Day-One Patch
Insomniac Games has released an official statement on their Twitter account confirming the day-one patch. In it, they state:
Hey everyone –
On October 20, you’ll finally experience Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and we couldn’t be more excited! Since going gold, our team made notable enhancements to Marvel’s #SpiderMan2PS5 that we’d love for you to experience from the very beginning.
The disc contains the entire game and is playable from start to finish with no patch or online requirement. But for the best experience, we highly encourage physical/disc-based players to download update Version 1.001.002 on launch day – prior to experiencing the opening mission of the game for the first time.
Digital players – don’t worry, if you pre-load the digital version of the game, you’ll get 1.001.002 as your pre-loaded version.
This update features polish to the gold master version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 available on disc, which improves the opening sections of the game and includes other general refinements to your Spidey experience, including some additional
Accessibility Options.
We appreciate your support and can’t wait for you to experience our latest adventure for yourselves!
Thanks, Insomniac Games
It is unknown what specific enhancements the first patch will add to the game. More details will arise within the next few days. Lastly, Spider-Man 2 will release on October 20, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
