Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a wildly successful opening weekend in movie theaters, and if you’re itching for more from the wall-crawler, it’s worth checking out the video games (which even Tom Holland and Zendaya are fans of).
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, in particular, is well worth grabbing now, as Best Buy has slashed $40 off the physical standard edition for PS5 as part of its Back to School sale (see it here).

Normally this game is priced at $69.99, but this discount has brought it down to $29.99. It’s a fantastic deal to jump on if you don’t have the game in your PS5 library yet, and a recent update even added in Tom Holland’s Brand New Day suit, which is a very fun bonus.

In terms of where we landed on it, we certainly think it’s worth adding to your PS5 library. IGN’s Simon Cardy’s 8/10 review called it, “another thrilling Spider-Man adventure that delivers Insomniac’s best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, it’s a reliably fun superhero power trip. And, you know what? Screw it. It really did make me feel like Spider-Man, too.”
Best Buy’s Back to School sale is full of even more discounted physical PS5 games that are worth checking out alongside Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
