It’s the complete package
One of the biggest selling points for Spider Man‘s PC port is the fact that everything is in one package!

The improved technology
Yes, Marvel’s Spider-Man was impressive on consoles, but the PC takes it to the next level. Obviously this will vary depending on the power of the computer, but for those using advanced components in their setup, Spider Man is a feast for the eyes. There’s plenty here to ogle at, with DLSS and improved ray tracing adding a shocking level of detail.
When you run the game on the highest settings, the shadows and lighting look and the textures on things like the worn-out New York street look almost photo-realistic. Also, the ray-traced reflections and minute details in Spidey’s collection of costumes will ensure gamers get their best Daily Bugle impression in the game’s highly capable Photo Mode.
Amazing frame rates
When you’re playing on a monitor that allows for high refresh rates, the propulsion of swinging through New York like Spidey feels better than ever. When you’re pushed to the limit, Spider Man can run at a solid 120 FPS or more after a bit of fiddling with the graphics settings. And it’s not just the swinging that feels better with improved frame rates, Spider ManThe fluid combat system also gets a knock.
Dodging, punching and webbing opponents felt good in 2018. In 2022, on a modern computer, it sings, with everything smoother than butter. It almost feels like Spider-Man was meant to make this run smoothly, and it’s going to be hard to go back to anything less than that after seeing this.
