From there, you can simply add it to your library and download it. There is no separate payment required as long as your subscription is active. If your plan expires, access to the game will also be locked, which is how most titles in the catalogue work. 

What the remastered version offers 

This version is built specifically for the PS5, so there are a few noticeable changes compared to the original release. 

You get faster loading times, which makes moving around the map feel smoother. There is also support for ray-traced reflections and improved lighting, which changes how the city looks, especially during night sequences. 

Performance has also been improved, with a 60fps mode available. On top of that, there is DualSense support, which adds haptic feedback while swinging or during combat. 

Character models have also been updated slightly, along with better overall resolution. 

What if you don’t have a PS5 

If you are still using a PS4, the original Marvel’s Spider-Man is also part of the PlayStation Plus Extra catalogue. So you can still play the game, even if you miss out on the remastered upgrades. 

There is also Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales available on the service, which continues the story and adds a few new mechanics. 

Availability and other things to know 

Games in the PlayStation Plus catalogue usually rotate over time, but first-party titles tend to stay longer compared to others. Still, there is no fixed timeline, so it is better to claim it while it is available. 

Add Techlusive as a Preferred Source

This version remains one of the better ways to experience Spider-Man on console, especially if you are playing on a PS5.
