Spider-Man 2 Swings Onto Steam With Forgiving PC Specs

Mar 18,2025 Author: Lillian

Sony's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 swings onto PC today, January 30th, and the wait is finally over! While the port's been in development for a while, Nixxes Software, the developers, have now revealed just how well it performs across various PC setups.

On the PlayStation Blog, they detailed the impressive PC features included, designed to "finetune performance and fidelity across a broad range of hardware configurations." A new trailer accompanies the announcement, showcasing the game's stunning visuals. Importantly, the PC version drops the PSN requirement, a welcome change for PC players. Furthermore, it boasts advanced ray tracing features, including DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction.

PlayNixxes graphics programmer Menno Bil highlighted the improvements: "In *Marvel's Spider-Man 2* on PC with ray reconstruction enabled, we see more detailed ray-traced reflections and better-defined ray-traced shadows, especially when viewing raytracing effects at steep angles. We also see improvements in the ray-traced interiors and less ghosting and noise in the ray-traced ambient occlusion.”

DLSS 3 and FSR 3.1 upscaling and frame generation technologies are also available, along with Intel's XeSS upscaler. While DLSS 4's Multi-Frame Generation isn't directly supported, Nvidia app users might be able to utilize the newer transformer model for enhanced DLSS 3 Frame Generation image quality.

For those with expansive displays, ultrawide support is available up to a remarkable 48:9 aspect ratio, with all cinematics viewable up to 32:9.

The system requirements are categorized into ray-traced and non-ray-traced configurations. If ray tracing isn't a priority, a surprisingly modest setup—an Nvidia GTX 1650, Intel Core i3 8100, and 16GB of RAM—can run the game at 720p and 30 FPS.

High-end systems can fully leverage their capabilities, with a 4K 60 FPS experience at "Ray Tracing Ultimate" requiring an RTX 4090, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and 32GB of RAM.

Steam Deck compatibility? Given the relatively high RAM requirements and need for a modern graphics card, it's possible but not guaranteed. Unlike the previous Spider-Man titles which had PS4 ports, Spider-Man 2's PS5 origins might demand more from the hardware, making Steam Deck verification unlikely.

Despite this, the broad range of supported configurations has been widely praised online. One Reddit user commented: “This must be the best hardware requirements sheet I’ve seen so far." Another, ItsMeIcebear4, added: "Honestly, great job. If performance lives up to this, it'll be very well received."
