Exclusive Insider Info: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Pre-Load Commences with Exciting Surprises!

Highlights

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now available for pre-load, allowing fans to download the full game before its highly anticipated launch on October 20th.

By pre-ordering the game on the PlayStation Store, users can conveniently install and begin playing the game as soon as it's released, right at midnight. The game's file size is around 86.268 GB, which is comparatively reasonable when considering other heavyweight titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Gran Turismo 7.

The pre-load for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has commenced, enabling fans to download the complete game before its release later this month. Being one of the most highly anticipated games of the year, expectations for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 are soaring.

Throughout 2023, Sony has been gradually unveiling more details about Marvel's Spider-Man 2. It featured a gameplay demo at the PlayStation Showcase event in May, followed by an official release date announcement at Summer Game Fest. In September, during the State of Play presentation, developer Insomniac Games took the opportunity to showcase the open world and other features of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. With the game's launch just a few days away, players can now start downloading the full game.

Insomniac Games has confirmed that fans who pre-order Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from the PlayStation Store can now pre-load the game onto their PS5 consoles. By doing so, users can install the complete game and be ready to play when it releases on October 20 at midnight local time. Along with this announcement, Insomniac Games has shared a small GIF featuring Peter and Miles from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, although it is unlikely to include any new footage.

Usually, PlayStation games can be pre-loaded two days prior to their launch, allowing fans ample time to download them. However, there are occasional exceptions for first-party titles, which provide users with even more time. In the case of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, players have approximately a week to download the game, while God of War Ragnarok also offers a similar timeframe for users to complete their downloads.

Players interested in pre-ordering should be aware that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has a substantial file size, approximately 86.268 GB on PS5 consoles. While an initial leak suggested a requirement of 98 GB, the final size is slightly smaller. However, it is worth noting that post-launch updates may increase the file size.

Although 86 GB is a significant amount of data, some games in this console generation have far exceeded the 100 GB mark. For instance, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War can occupy over 300 GB of storage, while Gran Turismo 7 comes in at just under 200 GB. Other games like The Elder Scrolls Online and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also demand a massive amount of space. Consequently, when considering the file size of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, it appears quite reasonable in comparison.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
