Next Spider-Man 2 Update Likely Coming in Early 2024, Insomniac Says
Insomniac Games reveals that the next game update for Spider-Man 2 is targeting an early next year release window.
In a statement posted on X/Twitter, Insomniac acknowledged that players were “eagerly awaiting” for new features such as New Game Plus and audio descriptions. However, the development team needs more time to fine-tune the next update before publicly rolling it out to players, with a release window targeting early 2024.

“We have been working vigilantly on these features and require more testing to ensure the quality is up to our standards,” Insomniac Games wrote in the statement. “We are now targeting Early 2024 for the next game update and we’ll have a feature-complete list closer to its release.”
Insomniac also confirmed that it listened to feedback from players and is going to add “highly requested features,” such as the ability to change the time of day and replay missions you previously completed.
Spider-Man 2 was released nearly two months ago and has become one of the more popular games to release this year, despite it being limited to just the PS5 console. Insomniac revealed that 11 days after release, Spider-Man 2 sold more than five million copies.
In our review of Spider-Man 2, my colleague Simon Cardy said: “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac’s best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip.”
The announcement comes just a date after a ransomware group reportedly hacked Insomniac games and put confidential information up for sale. Sony issued a statement the same day saying it was investigating the matter, beleiving that no other studios under Sony Interactive Entertainment nor Sony divisions were affected.
