Spider Man 2 has officially been announced, and fans couldn’t be more pumped to get back into the action this coming fall. The trailer Sony showed off at their 2023 PlayStation Showcase included both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, following the story put in place at the end of Spider Man: Miles Morales. With two playable protagonists, it makes sense that players would wonder; Is Spider Man 2 multiplayer?
The trailer showed a player swapping between a symbiote suit equipped Peter Parker and Miles Morales, meaning there are multiple playable characters available. Is the inclusion of more and more Spider Men a sign that the game may be going multiplayer? This guide will go over the multiplayer options in Spider Man 2, whether it will have it, and whether or not couch co-op will be an option.
Can You Play Spider Man 2 With Your Friends?
Sadly no, Spider Man 2 is set to be an exclusively single player game. While there are multiple playable characters, there are no plans for the game to include an online multiplayer mode.
Insomniac recently confirmed this in the following tweet:
Multiplayer was never a part of the previous titles in the series, and no game modes had been announced that would have lent themselves better to a multiplayer experience. It is then understandable that Insomniac would stick with a single-player experience.
- Haptic feedback – Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons.
- Adaptive triggers – Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.
- Built-in microphone and headset jack – Chat with friends online using the built-in microphone or by connecting a headset to the 3.5mm jack. Easily switch voice capture on and off at a moment’s notice with the dedicated mute button. Internet and account for PlayStation Network required.
- DualSense Controller PS5 and PC compatible. Not compatible with PS4.
- PS Remote Play requires Remote Play App connected to Wi-Fi, PS4 or PS5 console with the latest system software and compatible game. A PS4 or PS5 console with a wired connection via a LAN cable is recommended. Version 4.0 of the Remote Play App on iOS and iPadOS or version 4.1 on macOS is required for games to be playable with the controller over Bluetooth.
Is Spider Man 2 Co Op?
No, Spider-Man 2 isn’t co-op. The previous titles in the series were single-player adventures, so it makes sense that this title would follow in their footsteps. The games have very heavy narrative qualities, and single-player experiences generally give developers more control over the pace of the story.
Does Spider Man 2 Have Couch Co-Op?
No, Spider Man 2 doesn’t have Couch Co-op. As stated above, this title is meant to be a narrative-heavy single-player experience. The player will have control of multiple Spider-Men at different points in the game, but not in a way that would be improved by multiplayer.
