If you want to play Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as soon as it launches, then you’ll need to make sure you pre-load it.
Pre-loading a game allows players to download the game early so they can swing straight into the experience once it launches. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will allow players to download it before launch, and below, we explain exactly when and how players can.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Pre-Load Date & Start Time
The pre-load period for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 begins on Friday, 13 October 2023, at 6AM PT/9AM ET/2PM BST. Players will be able to download the game in advance during this period so long as they have pre-ordered any edition of the game.
The game’s file size is 98GB, according to leaks, so pre-loading it is a necessity if you want to play it as soon as it launches.
However, it’s worth noting that the game itself won’t be playable until its official launch on Friday, 20 October 2023, even if it has been pre-loaded. By pre-loading the game, you are making it immediately accessible once the game goes live at midnight local time.
Additionally, pre-loading the game allows you to have automatic downloads enabled. This will mean any pre-launch patches will also be downloaded before Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches.
How to Pre-Load Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
To pre-load Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you must first pre-order any edition of the game from a digital storefront and then select the download icon next to your purchase.
Alternatively, if you did not select the download icon immediately after pre-ordering the game, you can do the following:
- Go to the PlayStation Store on your PlayStation console
- Search for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Select the game’s official store page
- Choose “Download”
- The game will begin pre-loading
Once you’ve pre-loaded the game you’ll need to wait until it officially releases. In the meantime, why not check out our Game Hub for all things Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?
