Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Update Squashes Bugs on PC

Although Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 may be old news to PS5 players, it’s a brand-new experience for PC players. The Peter Parker and Miles Morales-led adventure was released on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store earlier this year and has been given updates since launch to smooth out the rough edges of the game. Today, Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software launched the latest update, simply titled Patch 7, which aims to continue to bring the best web-swinging experience to PC players ready to take on the villainous Kraven and the powerful symbiote Venom.

Today’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update is a bit unremarkable but does include some worthwhile fixes to annoying bugs plaguing the PC version. Arguably one of the more notable fixes is related to several bugs related to ray-traced interiors. There is also a fix for a bug that caused flickering shadows when HBAO+ or XeGTAO was selected. Many of the fixes are related to visuals and stability, with a couple specifically targeting gameplay. Additionally, Steam players can now enjoy newly added Community Items for the game, including Badges, Trading Cards, Backgrounds, and Emotes.
