Summary
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2isn’t swinging onto the PlayStation 5 for about another month, but fans might already have an idea how much drive space Insomniac’s latest superhero adventure could take up.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2looks to be much bigger than its two predecessors, adding new locations to the open world of New York City and giving Peter Parker and Miles Moralesa host of powerful new abilities. In Peter’s case, some of these new powers come from the classic Symbiote costume that he dons inSpider-Man 2, which will introduce classic Marvel villains like Venom and Kraven the Hunter to Insomniac’s growing comic-based universe.
Spider-Man 2looks to be a technical marvel from what has been shown of the game so far, and most fans expect it to take up a fair amount of space on the PS5’s memory drive. While the physical version ofSpider-Man 2is only one disk,the game’s doubled map sizehas players guessing that it will be almost 100 GB - putting it on par with contemporary first-party PlayStation titles likeGod of War Ragnarok.Spider-Man 2being exclusive to the PlayStation 5 could also factor into its overall size, as some titles take up less space on Sony’s newest console than the older PS4.

Fans might have just caught a glimpse into how bigMarvel’s Spider-Man 2will be thanks to thelimited-editionSpider-Man 2PlayStation 5 console bundle. As pointed out by the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Countdown Twitter account, the box states thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2requires a minimum of 98 GB of storage for the base game. Of course, this doesn’t take into account any post-launch update patches that might be released, which could increase the amount of space required for Insomniac’s newest web-swinging adventure.
As many have expected, this leakedMarvel’s Spider-Man 2file size is significantly larger than the games that came before it.Marvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredfor the PS5 took up about 53.76 GB, whileSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswas 50 GBon the same console and 52 GB on the PS4. In fact, if this leak is correct thenSpider-Man 2will be even bigger than the aforementionedGod of War Ragnarok, which only took up 84 GB in its original version on the PS5.
With two playable Spider-heroes that can be switched on the fly and additional sections of New York to swing through, it should come as no surprise thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2is significantly beefier than its two multi-system predecessors. While Insomniac has yet to officially confirmSpider-Man 2’s file size, the fact that this tidbit can be found on the limited-edition PS5 console buddle box is a strong indicator that the game will indeed be 98 GB at launch. Fans who haven’t ordered the fullSpider-Man 2console bundle will still have a while to see the game’s size for themselves, as pre-loading doesn’t begin until October 13.
