After spending more than a year as a console-exclusive title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is finally leaping onto PCs. In this third installment from Insomniac, players follow the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they face a new symbiote threat that challenges our favorite web-slinger and introduces a familiar foe to New York City: Venom.
In this guide, we’ll dive into all the essentials you need to know—like when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is hitting PCs, whether it’s compatible with the Steam Deck, and if you’ll need a PlayStation account to get swinging in-game.
Spider-Man 2 Release Time on PC
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be available for PC players through Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 30.

Here’s how that converts to different time zones:
Once we get an official update from PlayStation Studios or Insomniac Games, we’ll be sure to update this post with the precise release time.
Do You Need a PlayStation Account for Spider-Man 2 on PC?
Yes, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC does require you to log in using a PlayStation Network account before you can start playing. While it’s free to set up these accounts, it has been a sticking point for some PC gamers in the past—for instance, with games like Helldivers 2. Keep this in mind while deciding if this title is right for you.
Is Spider-Man 2 PC Steam Deck Verified?
As of now, it’s uncertain whether Spider-Man 2 will have Steam Deck verification at launch. Nevertheless, Sony’s major single-player titles, including Insomniac’s previous Spider-Man games, have been Steam Deck verified. Polygon has reached out to Sony to confirm whether Spider-Man 2 will be compatible, and we’ll update this post as soon as we get any info.
