Insomniac Games has delivered PS5’s biggest exclusive yet. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches today with a Metacritic of 90, near-perfect first-day reviews, and 2.5 million copies sold in 24 hours — the fastest-selling first-party PlayStation title ever. Swinging through a fully dual-borough New York City as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales has never felt so extraordinary.
The technical showcase is remarkable: near-instant fast travel leveraging the PS5 SSD, a seamless open world that switches between characters on the fly, and the Symbiote suit mechanics that transform Peter’s combat style fundamentally. The new Web Wings movement system adds a third locomotion layer that makes traversal genuinely addictive.
On narrative, Insomniac continues its tradition of superhero storytelling that rivals the best of the MCU. Venom is voiced by Tony Todd, and his presence is felt throughout the campaign with a menace that Marvel’s animated and cinematic universes have rarely matched. The dual-protagonist structure gives both Peter and Miles complete, emotional arcs.
Spider-Man 2 is the definitive PS5 showcase game. If you own a PlayStation 5 and haven’t played this yet, that needs to change immediately.
