Launch day patches have often become commonplace in the industry’s current landscape, but there have been a few rare cases where an initial update wasn’t necessary. So, with the Spider-Man 2 release time already upon us, we’ll provide the information you need below to prepare you beforehand.

Does Spider-Man 2 have a day one patch?

Yes, Spider-Man 2 does have a day one patch for both physical and digital editions on the PlayStation 5. While Insomniac Games has stated in a post that the game will be playable “with no patch or online requirement., if you want to experience the exciting arachnid sequel in the best way possible, the developer has recommended downloading the update at launch.

Conversely, digital-based players won’t have to worry about installing a day one patch on opening day because the update will be included as part of the Spider-Man 2 PS5 preload.

Insomniac Games has now revealed the full details of the Day One patch, namely that the update improves the game’s opening section and other general refinements, such as additional Spider-Man 2 accessibility options. You can check out the full patch notes, care of Insomniac Support, down below.
