Summary
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has released its first major patch on PC, bringing a list of improvements, from bug fixes to better optimization. The update has arrived in the wake of various technical problems reported by players afterMarvel’s Spider-Man 2rolled out on the platform on June 02, 2025.
Back in 2023,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2first arrived on the scene as a PS5 exclusive title and went on to garner critical acclaim as well as strong sales, with little to no issue. On the contrary, its highly awaited PC port, developed by Nixxes Software, has landed in hot water after coming out in an underwhelming state. Although the game’s content may be as praiseworthy as in the original version developed by Insomniac Games, its array of bugs and glitches on PC have more or less left a significant blemish on its launch. For this very reason,Marvel’s Spider-Manhas had “Mixed” user reviews on Steamever since it hit the platform. However, in the meantime, devs have been working on improving the game based on player feedback, with the latest step in that direction coming in the form of a sizable patch.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2devs recently shipped the v1.205.0.0 update on PC, implementing fixes in multiple areas, such as gameplay and UI. The latest patch doubles down on frequent crashes, UI shortcomings, and visual bugs that have led to certainappalling issues sneaking intoSpider-Man 2’s PC version. On top of bringing several crash fixes based on player feedback and reports, the new update enhances the game’s crash reporting tool with screenshot support for a seamless resolution process.
To avoid players losing their progress,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2devs also added functionality that automatically creates a backup of the autosave slot at “key points in the story.” Among the various tweaks made to the interface, the key ones are the menu toggles for Film Style Animation and Comic SFX, along with a simpler way to start New Game+. A bunch of different raytracing issues—including those related toNvidia’s DLSS technology—have been resolved as well, such as excessive noise in a character’s hair, visual artifacts appearing along the edges of water, and missing shadows of enemies webbed on the wall. The latest patch has also removed multi-device sync of accessibility options, such as prompt size and audio listening mode. It’s worth keeping in mind that, in view of this change to how sync works, such options will also be reset upon installing the update.
Thanks to the newly implemented major fixes,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2playersmay notice an improved experience from hereon. At the same time, the devs have confirmed their plan to ship “regular” updates to further take care of any rough edges that may not have been addressed in the latest patch.
