Spider-Man 2 swings onto PC in January 2025
thesixthaxis.comSony has announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be coming to PC on 20th January 2025. The game will be available via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
In development by Nixxes, in partnership with Insomniac, the game will have a broad suite of PC-specific features, in keeping with the dedicated porting team’s previous work.

It proved to be popular with PS5 owners too, selling 2.5 million copies within the first 24 hours. Bringing it to PC was inevitable, given Sony’s broader strategy, and it’s sure to be pretty popular there as well (though there will now also be an inevitable PSN requirement and public griping about this).
