Highly anticipated: Sony's silence regarding the PC port of Spider-Man 2 just days before its release raised concerns among fans. Now, only hours before launch, PC conversion studio Nixxes has released the system requirements, coinciding with Sony's reversal of its policy that mandated PlayStation Network logins for certain PC titles. Sony and Nixxes have published the PC system requirements for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Users will be pleased to discover that PlayStation Network logins for Insomniac's superhero sequel and three other Sony titles are now optional.The PC version of Spider-Man 2 enhances the PlayStation 5 edition's extensive use of ray tracing with higher-quality geometry, more detailed reflections, Nvidia DLSS ray reconstruction, and the option to extend the distance at which objects are ray traced.Click to enlargeAdditionally, Spider-Man 2 might receive improved image quality from DLSS4's transformer model. Nvidia doesn't list it among the first DLSS4-supported titles, and Nixxes doesn't specifically mention the feature. However, the studio confirms that the game includes an optional improved ray reconstruction model designed for RTX 40 and 50 series GPUs that sounds a lot like DLSS4's transformer update.Furthermore, gameplay and cutscenes support 21:9, 32:9, and 48:9 ultra-widescreen. // Related StoriesSpider-Man 2 isn't Steam Deck verified, but 720p 30fps gameplay requires at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT and 16GB of system RAM, so it might be playable on handheld gaming PCs. To play at high settings in 1440p at 60fps without ray tracing, Nixxes recommends an RTX 3070 or RX 6800. Setting ray tracing to high at high resolutions requires high-end RTX 40 series or RX 7000 graphics cards. The SSD storage requirement is also quite heavy at 140GB.As Nixxes outlined its latest PC port, Sony announced that Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnark, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered won't require logging into PlayStation Network. The company's prior decision to require sign-ins for games like Helldivers 2 and Ragnark drew intense backlash from players in the many countries where PSN isn't available. Logins are now optional, with cosmetic items and free in-game experience points as the primary incentive.Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is slated for a January 30 launch on Steam and the Epic Games Store, joining other former PlayStation 5 exclusives receiving PC ports in early 2025. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was released last week, and Rise of the Ronin launches on March 10. Sony's next PC conversion is The Last of Us Part II Remastered, which launches on April 3.
