There’s some time left before Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 officially releases on PS5, but players might have gotten an idea regarding the size of the much-anticipated game. It seems like the upcoming Insomniac game is going to be much larger as compared to its predecessors, which makes sense since the game will introduce tons of dynamic abilities for the web-slingers and brand-new locations to New York City’s open world.
From what we know so far, the upcoming Marvel game is going to take up a lot of space on the memory drive of the PS5. Even though Spider-Man 2’s physical version is just one disk, the game’s increased map size might cause the game to take up to 100GB worth of space. The fact that the game is also exclusive to PS5 might also play a part in its size since many games occupy less space on Sony’s latest console as compared to the previous one, i.e., PS4.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans recently got a look at the game’s file size, owing to its limited edition PS5 console bundle. A Twitter account called Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Countdown recently highlighted the box and the part where it reads that the highly-anticipated game will require a minimum storage of 98GB for the base game. However, this excludes all the post-launch update patches the developers might release, which can end up increasing the space required for the game.
Players might have noticed that the leaked file size of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is much bigger compared to the games that were previously released. Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered for PlayStation 5 required almost 53.76 GB, whereas Spider-Man: Miles Morales occupied 50 GB on the same console and 52 GB on PlayStation 4. Not only this, but the game might end up surpassing God of War Ragnarok, which only takes up 84 GB if the leak turns out to be true.
It is understandable why Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has a bigger size, considering the additional sections in New York as well as the two playable Spider-Men that players can switch between. Even though Insomniac Games hasn’t yet confirmed the game’s file size, the fact that the news was present on the limited-edition PS5 console bundle box strongly indicates that the game will be at least 98 GB. If you haven’t ordered the complete Spider-Man 2 console bundle, then you have some time to see the size of the game for yourselves since pre-loading does not start till October 13.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to release on October 20, 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
