Spider-Man 2 Players Face Major Hurdles with Physical Game Installations, Read on for Solutions!

Highlights

Some players are encountering installation issues with their physical copies of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on the PS5, with the game getting stuck at 36% progress.

Insomniac Games has not yet responded to these particular concerns, but they have encouraged players to report any encountered bugs or glitches.

While the installation problem appears to only impact a limited number of players, given the game's popularity and the upcoming bundle with the PS5 Slim, it is probable that Sony and Insomniac will prioritize resolving it promptly.

Some players are experiencing difficulties with the installation of their physical copies of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on their PS5. The highly anticipated sequel to 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man and the 2020 spin-off Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was released on October 20.

In this game, players assume the roles of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they navigate through New York City in an effort to prevent Kraven the Hunter from transforming the city into a hunting ground made of concrete. While reviewers have been praising Spider-Man 2, not everyone is having a seamless launch day experience.

The disc version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is causing installation issues for Reddit user Okrym_ on their PlayStation 5. The installation gets stuck at 36% on the progress bar. Other commenters on the post are also experiencing similar problems, where the disc partially installs before abruptly stopping. Users on the r/Spiderman subreddit, from different countries including North America and Europe, are reporting this issue.

Insomniac Games, the developer of the game, has tweeted a message encouraging players to report any unusual bugs or glitches. However, they have not addressed these specific installation issues yet. Although it appears that only a small number of players installing from a disc are affected, with the launch of Spider-Man 2 on a busy weekend, the number of affected players is expected to increase as more people have time to play the game.

Sony and Insomniac are hoping that the installation issue is only affecting a small number of players, as they aim to promote the web-slinger during the upcoming holiday season. There have been reports that the new PS5 Slim consoles will come bundled with Spider-Man 2 upon its release in a few weeks. These reports come from a reliable source known as billbil-kun, but they have not been confirmed by Sony.

Insomniac has also confirmed that a New Game + mode for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is in the works, along with the addition of a mission replay option. James Stevenson, the community manager at Insomniac, stated that these features are currently being developed and will be released at a later date.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is available now on PS5.
