Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is coming to PC
Starting early next year
Console exclusivity is a reason why some gamers skip popular games. In today’s times, the tide is finally shifting with former console-exclusive games making their debuts on PC. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the latest title to finally make its way into everyone’s PCs.
After launching late last year, Spider-Man 2 easily rose to the top of the games representative of the current PlayStation 5 generation. It featured improved performance with updated graphics, taking advantage of the console’s performance.
The story features Peter Parker’s struggles with the Venom symbiote. In the process of fighting the vicious symbiote, the web-slinging superhero attracts the dangerous Kraven in a hunt to the death.
Now, Sony has announced that the iconic title will make its debut on PC. It will hit the platform on January 30 next year via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The port will feature additional graphics options, enhanced raytracing, widescreen support, and keyboard/mouse controls. It will also include all DLCs and extra Spider Suits with the game.
The port itself is promising. Sony is once again tapping Nixxes to handle the development. The studio previously worked on ports for the first Spider-Man, the Miles Morales spinoff, and the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn remaster.
If you were hoping that the new port means more development for the game, you’re out of luck. Insomniac Games has confirmed that there is no story updates planned for both the PC and console versions anymore. All eyes are on whatever is coming next from the studio.

AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 now available for Radeon RX 7000 Series
Update drops earlier than expected, powering more than 300 supported games
PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.
Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.
By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.
(The driver can be downloaded here.)
The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.
Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.
Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.
Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.
if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
