AAA video games using Marvel Comics properties are becoming increasingly common. One of the most popular games starring a superhero from the brand is Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man, originally released in 2018 for the PS4. This game then received a spin-off in the form of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, where it follows Miles in his adventure in saving New York City from a new threat while Peter Parker is away. Following that, an official sequel will be coming to the PS5, starring both Spider-Men and the infamous symbiote Venom.
These games are all exclusive to PlayStation consoles, with both Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales being available to play on the PS5. However, recent years have seen Sony allowing some of these exclusives move from its consoles to PC, with the most recent port being 2018’s God of War. This trend is continuing, as June 2022’s State of Play Presentation revealed that Spider-Man Remastered will be swinging onto PC later this year in August. One tidbit that wasn’t formally announced with the trailer, however, is that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will also be coming to the platform.
After the State of Play Presentation, a blog by Insomniac’s Ryan Schneider was posted on PlayStation’s website. It notes that both games will be coming to PC, with controller or mouse and keyboard options being available for ways that players can control Spider-Man. These PC ports of Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales will also have PC-specific settings such as adjustable rendering and ray traced-reflections, along with other features that will be announced at a later date.
According to Schneider, these ports for Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales were possible thanks to PlayStation’s partner studio Nixxes Software, who was instrumental in optimizing both games for PC. Jurjen Katsman, Founder of Nixxes Software, notes that the company was a huge fan of Insomniac Games’ work, including both Spider-Man titles, and was honored to help the developers port the game to the new platform.
The post concludes with the release windows for the PC versions of the games, where Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered will be releasing in August as mentioned earlier. Spider-Man: Miles Morales won’t be coming to the PC until Fall of this year, with no specific release date at this time, however. This should be a timely revisit for fans to partake in, as Spider-Man 2 will be released sometime in 2023.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is out now on PS4 and PS5 and will be coming to PC in Fall 2022.
