In a recent post, Insomniac Games reminds future Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players to download the update before playing. Now commonplace in video game blockbusters, this day one patch will ensure you have the best possible experience with the game. We explain why.
Only two more days to wait for the biggest game of the year on the PlayStation side. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is indeed arriving on PS5 this Friday, October 20 and already seems to have won over the critics – Phonandroid’s opinion, moreover, was slightly more mixed. It is therefore very likely that you are already in the starting blocks to launch the game from the first hour. However, you should consider carrying out a small operation first.
Insomniac Games, developer studio of the title, recalls this in a recent publication on X (Twitter). First of all, it is important to update the game before launching it. This may seem like a bit for a game that has just been released. How can it already have an update when it just came out of the factory (for lack of another expression)? In fact, it makes perfect sense.
Why you should download Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 day one patch before playing
Seasoned players probably already know the song. The day one patch is indeed a very common practice in the industry, particularly on AAA games. Before their official launch, these games reach so-called “gold” status, which means that they can be sent as is to the manufacturer of the physical versions so that they are available in stores on launch day. But the work doesn’t stop there for developers.

Indeed, at this stage, there are still many bugs to fix and small details to improve, which will constitute the majority of their work in the final stretch before release. These are the bugs that are addressed in the day one patch. In other words, the game will be perfectly playable upon release, but your experience will be even better if you take a few minutes to download and install this patch beforehand.
