Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is currently available for PlayStation 5 at a steep discount, dropping to $29.99 at Best Buy as part of its Back to School sale. This represents a $40 reduction from its usual $69.99 price point, marking a significant opportunity for players to add the acclaimed title to their libraries.
The game recently received an update that introduced new suits for Peter Parker, including the "Fresh Start" and "Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls" costumes, which align with the recent "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" comic storyline. This update also added support for enhanced PSSR on the PS5 Pro and a Power Saver mode.
Critics have lauded Marvel's Spider-Man 2. An 8/10 review from IGN described it as "another thrilling Spider-Man adventure that delivers Insomniac's best tale yet." While noting that its open world may fall short for some, the review highlighted the game as a "reliably fun superhero power trip" that effectively captures the feeling of being Spider-Man.
This sale extends beyond Marvel's Spider-Man 2, with Best Buy offering discounts on a range of other physical PS5 titles. Notable games included in the promotion are God of War Ragnarök and Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, among others, providing a chance for consumers to expand their PS5 game collection at reduced prices.
