Spider-Man fans, rejoice! Sony’s highly-anticipated Marvel Spider-Man 2 has finally swung onto PC as of January 30, offering an enticing experience for both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike. With Nixxes Software at the helm, this port has been meticulously crafted to ensure a harmonious blend of performance and visual fidelity across a multitude of hardware setups. This inclusive approach is a boon for PC enthusiasts, removing the once-mandatory PlayStation Network account linkage.

Featured in a detailed [PlayStation Blog post](https://blog.playstation.com/2025/01/29/marvels-spider-man-2-pc-features-and-ray-tracing-options-detailed-out-tomorrow/), Spider-Man 2 for PC introduces state-of-the-art ray tracing features such as DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction. As Nixxes’ graphics programmer, Menno Bil, elaborated, these advancements allow for more nuanced reflections, shadows, and a significant reduction in noise and ghosting.

Moreover, the port embraces a suite of upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA’s DLSS 3, FSR 3.1, and Intel’s XeSS upscaler. Although DLSS 4’s Multi Frame Generation isn’t natively supported, players can leverage NVIDIA’s app to enhance image quality further.

Adding to the visual appeal, Spider-Man 2 accommodates ultrawide monitors up to a striking 48:9 aspect ratio, allowing players to experience the game’s captivating cinematics in a widescreen format of up to 32:9.

The game’s system requirements, neatly divided into ray-traced and non-ray-traced categories, highlight its accessibility. Even on older systems, gamers can enjoy Spider-Man 2 at 720p and 30 FPS with modest parts, such as an Nvidia GTX 1650 and an Intel Core i3. Meanwhile, high-end rigs are richly rewarded with the ability to run the game at 4K and 60 FPS with “Ray Tracing Ultimate” settings, provided you’re armed with an RTX 4090 and an AMD Ryzen 7800X3D.

As for the Steam Deck, while the possibility of running Spider-Man 2 exists, given its demanding hardware requisites, players may have to temper their expectations regarding official verification—unlike its PS4-friendly predecessors, Spider-Man 2’s origin on PS5 necessitates more intensive hardware.

This broad array of requirements has garnered online acclaim, with Reddit users praising the developers’ polished approach to ensuring a smooth gaming experience across varied hardware. As ItsMeIcebear4 aptly put it, “If performance lives up to this, it’ll be very well received.”
