The developer behind Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is encouraging all users who purchase a physical copy of the game to download its day one patch.
According to Insomniac Games, while Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is playable out of the box without updating, the patch features “notable enhancements” which were made after the game went gold last month. Those of you who have bought the digital version will have the patch applied automatically.
We highly encourage physical/disc-based players to download update Version 1.001.002 on launch day – prior to experiencing the opening mission of the game for the first time. This update features polish to the gold master version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 available on disc, which improves the opening sections of the game and includes other general refinements to your Spidey experience, including some additional Accessibility Options.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is due for release on October 20, 2023 for PS5, and you can read our full review here. The superhero sequel has already become Insomniac Games’ highest-rated game on Metacritic since 2004, and Digital Foundry has said the game boasts the best ray-traced shadows of any open-world console game.
