Overview

• Players of the recently launched Marvel's Spider-Man 2 game flagged a representation error where the Puerto Rican flag was replaced by the Cuban flag in the home of main character Miles Morales, whose heritage is Puerto Rican.
• The mistake was confirmed by Insomniac Games' Director of Community and Marketing, James Stevenson, who assured gamers that a correction to this error would be part of an upcoming patch. However, the specific timeline for the fix remains unspecified.
• The game, which became Sony's fastest-selling first-party game immediately after its launch, had correctly represented the Puerto Rican flag in other parts of the game, such as in multiple spider suit designs.
• Despite the similarity in design between the Puerto Rican and Cuban flags, fans expressed their disappointment at the mix-up, asserting the importance of accuracy in representing different cultures.
• Marvel's Spider-Man 2, released exclusively on PlayStation 5, broke records as the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in a day, selling over 2.5 million copies within 24 hours of its release.
