Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 patch notes: New Game+ added in version 1.002.000

Insomniac is delivering missing features

Insomniac Games has published version 1.002.000 of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PS5, which added a couple of features that have been missing from the initial release of action adventure game such as New Game+, Mission Replay, and the option to change the time of day in the post-game.

Fans have been especially eager for New Game+ as such a mode allows them to play through the title once again, but keep many of their unlocked powers and tackle a higher difficulty.
