Spider-Man 2 system requirements and PC exclusive raytracing features detailed

It was back in October 2024 on stage at Comic Con that Sony suddenly announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC. While this port of the PlayStation 5 exclusive from 2023 is landing tomorrow on the new platform, the company has been oddly quiet about details about this version. Finally though, a blog post has landed with detailed system requirements, its raytracing upgrades, and information about exclusive features on the platform.

"Ray-traced reflections quickly catch your eye in the skyscraper-filled city of Marvel’s New York as you swing along its many glass surfaces," describes Nixxes' communications manager Julian Huijbregts. "Meanwhile, we’re offering ray-traced interiors, shadows, and ambient occlusion options that add an additional layer of believability with realistic shadows and increased depth to the game."

For those with "Super Hero-tier" PC rigs, the game also offers an increased raytracing geometry detail setting and a raytracing object range slider, alongside support for NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction for those with supported hardware.

Here are the wide range of hardware requirements the studio detailed today:

Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 lands on PC tomorrow, January 30. As pre-orders were never offered, Sony is bundling the pre-order bonuses, seen above, with all regular purchases instead. As announced a few hours ago, a PSN account is optional for playing Spider-Man 2 on PC. Moreover, Peter Parker’s Advanced Suit 2.0 is coming to Marvel Rivals today as a purchasable cosmetic option.
