When the sequel to Insomniac Games' Spider-Man dropped, we couldn't get enough of it. In fact, it was one of our best reviewed games of 2023, so we're stoked that the wait for the PC port is almost over.

If you missed the original release, or if you don't have a PS5, then we highly recommend grabbing the game now.

From smooth swinging (and gliding) mechanics, to addictive combat, to an emotionally thrilling story, you're in for a treat.

However, it's a big game that requires a robust machine.

We'll share all the details on Spider-Man 2's PC release below, including the required and recommended specs.

Spider-Man 2 PC release date

The Spider-Man 2 PC release date is 30th January 2025, Sony has confirmed.

So we can jump back into the action today!

Nixxes Software has handled development for the PC port of the game, which means it's been in good hands.

The same studio worked on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, LEGO Horizon Adventures, Until Dawn, Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima.

If you can think of a PlayStation game on PC, the odds are that Nixxes has been involved.

When is the UK launch time for Spider-Man 2 on PC?

So, it's out today, but when can we jump (or swing) in exactly?

Words on the Steam page read: "This game plans to unlock in approximately three hours."

And as the time of writing is midday, that means UK launch time for Spider-Man 2 on PC is 3pm GMT.

Check out the trailer for the PC version of the game to see what to expect (if you are completely new to the game):
