Spider-fans around the world are excitedly getting their hands on the latest adventure, but when is the Spider-Man 2 release time? The sequel to 2018’s critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man is already on track to be one of the biggest games of the year, as it will simultaneously put you in the webbed shoes of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
We’ve played the game, of course – and you can check out our comprehensive Spider-Man 2 review over here. We’ve also got guides for how to please your inner J. Jonah Jameson and figure out how to take pictures in Spider-Man 2. Alternatively, why not see how to switch characters between Miles and Peter in Spider-Man 2? Before you start playing, you’ll also want to know what’s in the Spider-Man 2 Day One patch.
But if you want to know when you can trap it in your own web and get your sticky hands on the game, let’s run down when you can expect it.
Spider-Man 2 release time
Spider-Man 2 is expected to be released at midnight local time on October 20, 2023, for the PlayStation 5. So yes, that’s a regional unlock time, which means the game has now been made available in Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the UK, with countries like New Zealand, Australia, and Japan being able to explore the towering skyline of New York with both webheads much earlier than others.
The only launch that’s left now is its release in the Americas, as those on the East and West Coast of the US, along with fans in South America, continue to twiddle their thumbs in anticipation.

You can only play Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5. Previous-gen systems like the PS4 will not be compatible.
