Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Today, at New York Comic Con on the Marvel stage, Insomniac Games announced that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC on January 30, 2025. The porting is being done by Nixxes Software, which also worked on the previous installments. Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes, stated: Bringing Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales to a new audience on PC together with Insomniac and Marvel Games has been a great experience for us at Nixxes. We are excited to continue this collaboration and bring Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to PC with a suite of enhanced features, including enhanced ray-tracing […]
Yesterday saw Sony roll out a new State of Play, and while opinions on such showcases always vary, it contained a fair number of announcements, including the ambitious new platformer Astro Bot, first gameplay and a release-date for the multiplayer FPS Concord, as well as additional dates for the Silent Hill 2 remake, God of War Ragnarok PC port, and more. So, is that it for Team Blue? Astro Bot, Concord, Silent Hill 2, and GoW Ragnarok on PC would make a solid lineup for the rest of the year, so maybe PlayStation returns to its cave to hibernate for […]
Arrowhead's Helldivers 2 continues to sell at an incredible rate. The latest report from GSD (reported by GamesIndustry) reveals that the game was once again the top-selling title when considering both digital and physical channels across the United Kingdom. Even more impressive is the fact that Helldivers 2 is currently outpacing sales of Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Granted, it has certain advantages, such as the lower pricing and the availability on PC. At the same time, Spider-Man 2 is based on one of the most iconic entertainment franchises. Moreover, Helldivers 2 was made with a fraction of the $300 million […]
Does a co-op multiplayer Spider-Man game from Insomniac sound like something you’d want to play? Well, sorry, while it was in the works, it’s no longer in production. For a while we heard rumblings a multiplayer Spidey project was happening, but then as part of Sony’s recent step back from their (over) ambitious live service plans, the project was reportedly canceled. And that would usually be that, but the massive Insomniac Games leak from late last year is still yielding new information, including a trailer for that canceled multiplayer project, entitled Spider-Man: The Great Web. While we won’t embed the […]
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has just dropped one of its biggest updates yet, which includes the game’s long-promised New Game+ which allows you to level up further and earn some exclusive NG+ cosmetics. Insomniac is also rolling out a variety of other quality-of-life features, including the ability to replay missions, change the time of day whenever you want, and a host of new accessibility options. And hey, what would a big update be without some new suits? The update adds the new “Hellfire Gala” suits and the $5 paid “Fresh n’ Fly” suit pack, which goes to benefit the Gameheads non-profit […]
As promised by developer Insomniac Games a couple of weeks ago, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will receive the highly anticipated New Game Plus mode in early March, specifically on Thursday the 7th. The main goal of New Game Plus will be to allow players to start a new Marvel's Spider-Man 2 playthrough on a higher difficulty while letting them keep all of the unlocked abilities and suits. However, Insomniac said they'll also get to replay just a specific mission, which is certainly a nice bonus. New Game Plus mode doesn't stop there, introducing Ultimate Levels, Golden Gadget Styles, and more unlockables. […]
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has been a predictably big hit, but despite that, the game has seen surprisingly little in terms of post-launch and content beyond the usual big-fixing patches. A New Game+ mode was promised to arrive before the end of 2023, but was ultimately pushed back to sometime in 2024. Well, it seems that sometime will be early next month, as Insomniac have announced New Game+, some new Spidey suits, and more is coming in early March. ❗ OUR NEXT UPDATE IS COMING MARCH 7 Our title update for Marvel's #SpiderMan2PS5 arrives next month and adds highly requested features […]
The development of the unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port has ceased for the foreseeable future, and it is very unlikely ever to see the light of day. As reported on X/Twitter by PC Focus, the development team announced on their Discord yesterday that development has been halted for the foreseeable future without providing any additional detail, although it is likely it was halted to ensure the safety of the development team, as it is being reported they were being harassed and their private information shared publicly. While it is a shame this unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 port is never […]
The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has announced the nominations for the 27th annual DICE Awards, revealing that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has garnered the most nominations (9) ahead of Alan Wake 2 (8) and Baldur's Gate 3 (7).

Alan Wake 2 was listed in the Art, Character […]
The development of the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 unofficial PC port is proceeding quickly, and major strides have been made in the past few days. As reported on X/Twitter by PC Focus, the unofficial PC port is looking more and more like the actual game, as textures are being applied quickly. The main menu looks almost ready, as it is only missing shader effects like reflections. Gameplay is also looking fine, although it is clear there's still plenty of work left to be done. At the rate things are going, the development of the unofficial Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC port is […]
An unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port is currently in the works, and it's already running great in its very early version. As reported today by PC_Focus on X/Twitter, modders are reverse-engineering the PC dev build of the game leaked last week to develop an unofficial PC port which is already running at 60 FPS, although without textures and interface elements. While it is obviously full of glitches right now, what these developers have already accomplished with this unofficial port is extremely impressive. While a release window has yet to be confirmed, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC at […]
On paper, 2023 perhaps wasn’t a landmark year for action games, at least of a more traditional hardcore variety. That said, if you really look at this past year’s release calendar, you’ll find a diverse array of action games both big and small, including the much-anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, big-budget superhero sequel Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and scrappy underdogs like Hi-Fi Rush. Limber up and get ready to battle through Wccftech’s Best Action Games of 2023! Note: For the purposes of Wccftech’s Best Of lists, any game that requires combat in order to progress is filed […]
