Marvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredwill be available as a standalone purchase in May 2023 for $49.99. Owners of the PS4 version ofMarvel’s Spider-Manwill be able to upgrade to the remastered edition for $10 when it launches, whileMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moralesplayers can obtainMarvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredby upgrading to its ultimate edition from the game’s main menu. It should be noted that this offer is valid for owners of both digital and physical versions ofMarvel’s Spider-Man, as Sony has shared a handy image that makes it clear.
However, fans who redeemed any edition ofMarvel’s Spider-Manthrough PlayStation Plus will not be eligible for this upgrade. Users that fall in this category can choose to buy the remastered edition for $49.99, or they can get the PS4 version ofMarvel’s Spider-Manfor cheap before going for the upgrade. Sony offered asimilar upgrade path forUncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, so this appears to be the standard practice for first-party games.
Players should note thatMarvel’s Spider-Manwill soon be removed from PS Plus Extra and Premium, and it’s one of several games leaving the service in May 2023. Perhaps Sony will decide to addMarvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredto PS Plus in the future, but it seems to be only available as a paid upgrade for now.
Sony also took this opportunity to reiterate thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2will release this fall on PS5. While it doesn’t have a said release date, developer Insomniac Games seems confident about the game meeting its set launch date, and it will probably reveal more fromMarvel’s Spider-Man 2at the next major PlayStation Showcase event.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remasteredis available now on PC and PS5.
