Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC Port Faces Backlash Over Technical Issues

Players report crashes, poor optimization, and performance issues, leading to a 'Mixed' rating on Steam shortly after launch.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launched on PC on January 30, 2025, but has been plagued by widespread technical problems, including frequent crashes, stuttering, and graphical glitches.
The game's Steam rating currently sits at 'Mixed,' with only 55% of reviews being positive, as many users cite poor optimization even on high-end hardware like NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs.
Players report issues such as audio desynchronization, lighting failures in cutscenes, and crashes triggered by in-game graphical settings or driver errors.
Nixxes Software, known for handling Sony's PC ports, has released an initial hotfix targeting ray-tracing-related crashes but has not yet resolved all reported issues.
Despite the technical problems, some players remain optimistic about future patches, while others have sought refunds or advised waiting before purchasing the game.
