Insomniac Games to Correct Puerto Rican Flag Mix-Up in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Video Game

Insomniac's Director of Community and Marketing James Stevenson assures fans fix will be part of upcoming patch following criticism over accidental inclusion of Cuban flag instead of Puerto Rican flag in the game's representation of main protagonist Miles Morales' heritage.

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.
