Marvel's Spider-Man 2 swings onto PC, offering impressive graphical fidelity and broad hardware compatibility. Released January 30th, the PC port, developed by Nixxes Software, boasts optimized performance across a wide range of systems.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the PC version surpasses its console counterpart with enhanced features. A new trailer showcases the game's advanced ray tracing capabilities, including DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction, resulting in improved reflections and shadows, as detailed by Nixxes graphics programmer Menno Bil. The port also incorporates DLSS 3 and FSR 3.1 upscaling and frame generation technologies, alongside Intel XeSS. While DLSS 4's Multi-Frame Generation isn't directly supported, users can potentially leverage the Nvidia app for enhanced image quality.
Ultrawide monitor support extends to an impressive 48:9 aspect ratio, with cinematics viewable up to 32:9.
System requirements are categorized into ray-traced and non-ray-traced configurations. For players prioritizing performance over ray tracing, a modest setup (Nvidia GTX 1650, Intel Core i3 8100, 16GB RAM) can achieve 720p at 30 FPS. High-end configurations, targeting 4K 60 FPS with "Ray Tracing Ultimate," necessitate an RTX 4090, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and 32GB RAM.
While Steam Deck compatibility isn't guaranteed due to the higher RAM and graphics card requirements compared to the PS4 ports of previous Spider-Man titles, the extensive range of supported configurations has garnered significant praise online, with many users commending the comprehensive and accessible system requirements.
