Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is expected to be much bigger than its predecessors, featuring new locations and powerful abilities for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
Speculations suggest that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will occupy a substantial portion of the PlayStation 5's storage capacity. The leaked file size of 98 GB, discovered on the limited-edition PS5 console bundle box, signifies that this upcoming installment will surpass its predecessors in terms of size.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is slated to release on PlayStation 5 in approximately one month, and fans may already have an inkling of the potential storage it will require. This sequel appears to surpass its predecessors in scale, featuring new New York City locations and granting both Peter Parker and Miles Morales an array of formidable abilities. Peter, in particular, will gain new powers from donning the iconic Symbiote costume, which will introduce familiar Marvel adversaries such as Venom and Kraven the Hunter to Insomniac's expanding comic-based universe.
Spider-Man 2 promises to be a technical marvel based on the glimpses we've seen thus far, and many fans anticipate that it will occupy a significant portion of the PS5's memory drive. Although the physical version of the game is contained on a single disc, due to the doubled map size, players estimate that it will require nearly 100 GB of storage, putting it in the same league as contemporary first-party PlayStation titles like God of War Ragnarok. Additionally, Spider-Man 2 being exclusive to the PlayStation 5 may also contribute to its overall file size, as some titles require less space on Sony's newest console compared to the older PS4.
Fans may have gotten a glimpse into the scale of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 through the limited-edition Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 console bundle. The box indicates that the base game of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 requires a minimum of 98 GB of storage. It's important to note that this does not account for any potential post-launch update patches, which could increase the storage requirement for Insomniac's latest web-swinging adventure.
As anticipated, the leaked file size of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is considerably larger than its predecessors. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for the PS5 occupied approximately 53.76 GB, while Spider-Man: Miles Morales was 50 GB on the same console and 52 GB on the PS4. Interestingly, if this leak is accurate, Spider-Man 2 will surpass the size of God of War Ragnarok, which originally occupied 84 GB on the PS5.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 offers two playable Spider-heroes that can be switched seamlessly, along with additional areas of New York City to swing through. This highly anticipated game is expected to be larger in size compared to its predecessors, being a hefty 98 GB at launch. Although the official confirmation of the file size is yet to come from Insomniac, the information can be found on the limited-edition PS5 console bundle box, giving strong indication. Fans who haven't purchased the full Spider-Man 2 console bundle will have to wait until October 13 to start pre-loading the game. The release date for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set for October 20 on PlayStation 5.
