Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC Release Faces Backlash Over Performance Issues

The highly anticipated PC port of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has launched with significant technical problems, leaving players frustrated.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 debuted on PC on January 30, 2025, following its initial release on PS5 in October 2023.
Players have reported frequent crashes, severe graphical bugs, and excessive RAM usage, with some stating the game is unplayable on high-end hardware.
The PC version features advanced graphical options like ray tracing, DLSS 3.5, and ultrawide monitor support, but these enhancements demand extremely powerful hardware for optimal performance.
Sony dropped the controversial requirement for a PlayStation Network account to play its PC games, making it optional for Spider-Man 2 and other titles.
The game currently holds a 'mixed' review rating on Steam, with many players seeking refunds and awaiting official patches from Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software.
