When can we web-swing from our desktops?

Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Not only because it’s one of the biggest pulls for PlayStation (now Xbox appears to own everything), but because the 2018 original and Miles Morales spin-off were so fantastic. We can’t wait to continue the story.

But what if consoles aren’t really your thing? If you’re a PC gamer, you might be wondering if you’ll be able to play this epic sequel without buying a PS5.

While it’s a Sony exclusive for now, that certainly doesn’t mean it will be forever. Let’s take a look at the likelihood of Spider-Man 2 releasing on PC, and when that might be.

Will Spider-Man 2 come to PC?

Let’s take a look at the previous two releases: 2018’s Spider-Man and 2020’s Miles Morales. The two of them were initially exclusive to PlayStation, but they eventually came out on the PC.

The same can be said of other titles that were PlayStation exclusive at launch, like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, God of War and Uncharted 4.

So, while we can’t confirm anything at the moment, our guess is that Spider-Man 2 will come out on the PC eventually. But how long will we have to wait?

When will Spider-Man 2 come to PC? Our best estimate

It’s a difficult question to answer, because 2018’s Spider-Man took four years to release on the PC, but Miles Morales only took two (they were both ported in 2022).

But while it often takes a few years for PlayStation to port their games to PC, sometimes it can take just six months. This was the case with The Last of Us Part 1 (the remake of the 2013 original), which dropped on PC just half a year after its PS5 release.

So, if we were to hazard a guess, we’d say to expect a PC Spider-Man 2 port in about a year’s time – so late 2024.
