As October 20 approaches, Spider-Man fans around the world are preparing for the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5. The hype surrounding this title is at a fever pitch, further buoyed by the release of the launch trailer, the "universal acclaim" from critics, and now, a recent and very positive revelation.

Going gold in late September, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has had fans salivating at what's coming. Post this announcement, Insomniac hasn't rested on its laurels. Instead, it has worked diligently to add "notable enhancements" to further elevate the gaming experience, as per their X account.

The day-one update, labeled as version 1.001.002, is the fruits of such labors. While the game is entirely playable as it is with no internet requirement, Insomniac advises its installation for an optimal experience. In particular, it polishes the opening sequence significantly. Along with these improvements, it will also usher in additional accessibility options. Digital buyers need not fret about this update; Insomniac seamlessly integrated in into their preloaded game.

TLDR; those opting for a physical copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, they have the luxury of playing straight from the disc. But Insomniac suggests downloading the update before diving into the opening mission for a richer experience.
