It took a long time to get the next chapter of Peter Parker’s journey after that Venom tease at the end of the first game, but we finally got here. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 more than lives up to the first game and the Miles Morales-focused PS5 launch title. And, now that its been out for two years or so, we’re starting to see more discounts on the city-spanning adventure. As part of Amazon’s Black Friday deals, the game is down to $29.99 – that’s better than half price.

Spider-Man 2 Is Over 50% Off
That price is thanks to Amazon jumping the gun on its Black Friday deals, meaning you can snap up the AAA adventure for under $30.
As for the game itself, it tells the story of both Peter and Miles this time around, with both playing key roles. It’s a great way to see more of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery than would fit in the first game, but the biggest threat is Kraven who comes to New York to hunt our two Spider-Men.
It ratchets everything great about the first game up a notch, and even lets you switch between both characters effortlessly in the open world thanks to the PS5’s SSD loading speeds.
Reviewer Simon Cardy gave the game an 8 out of 10 for IGN, saying “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac’s best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip.”
As for what’s next for Insomniac’s fledgling Marvel universe, it’ll be Wolverine arriving next year. The game is slated to launch in Q4 of 2026, and we got our first gameplay overview at Sony’s State of Play in September.
