Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Features and System Requirements Revealed

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is finally set to release on the PC platform today, and Nixxes Software, the first-party Sony studio porting the highly anticipated action-adventure title to the PC, has revealed the official system requirements of the game. So if you’re looking forward to playing Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 on PC at reasonable visual quality levels, this is simply a must read for you.

Looking at the requirements, the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 does seem to strike a fair balance between scalability and fidelity, as it’s actually far more generous than some of the recent titles announced for the PC. Overall, if you’re not too keen on experiencing the game at it’s highest Ray-Traced glory, Spider-Man 2 should run fine on even some of the older GTX 10 series of Graphics Cards from NVIDIA and some of the higher RX 5000 series of cards from AMD which is reassuring for a lot of users considering many other upcoming titles on the PC don’t support these older GPUs anymore.

So if you have even the GeForce GTX 1650 or AMD’s Radeon RX 5500 XT along with an Intel Core i3-8100/AMD Ryzen 3 3100 CPU, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 should run comfortably on your PC. The memory requirements are 16GB across all visual settings except if you’re targeting 4K at 60 fps in that case the game will need at least 32GB. However, the storage requirements are pretty hefty with a whopping 140GB of space in your SSD.

The recommended specs for the game are an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060/AMD Radeon RX 5700 GPU, and an Intel Core i5-8400/AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU targeting 1080p at 60 FPS on the ‘Medium’ quality preset in the game.

However if you want to enable Ray-Tracing, you’ll need at least the RTX 4070 or RX 7900 XT for Spider-Man 2’s ‘High’ Ray-Tracing preset.

Furthermore, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also utilizes some of the more advanced PC-specific visual features such as NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction which improves the quality of RT in the game in drastic ways. Considering the fact that Spider-Man 2 already uses extensive RT in the PS5 version, the PC port of the game definitely looks to raise the bar significantly which means it’s going to look spectacular on a high-end gaming PC and will probably turn out to be one of the best looking titles to come out in recent years.
