Insomniac Games' Marvel's Spider-Man is the fourth-best-selling game on the PS4. It will also be the fourth PlayStation exclusive to be available on Steam once it arrives on August 12.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered's arrival on the PC was one of the biggest surprises of the June State of Play showcase. The 2018 title effectively served as Insomniac Games' audition piece for Sony Interactive Entertainment. After the game received critical acclaim and sold well, Sony acquired Insomniac Games and it's been a first-party studio since. But, while the Spider-Man games look awesome on the PS4 Pro and the PS5 via subsequent updates, you can't deny that it would be awesome to see the game on a more powerful machine like a top-of-the-line gaming PC.
For the latest trailer of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, Mike Fitzgerald, the studio's core technology director, took some time to talk about what Insomniac and the port specialist studio, Nixxes Software, have in store for PC fans.
According to Fitzgerald, the studios prioritized making the game "a visual stunner on the PC platform." This meant that the game will now support "PC users with varying hardware." The studio also introduced "some new techniques and tools to push things even further," such as ray-traced reflections for those with capable hardware, including a "new, higher-quality ray-traced mode that offers even more city detail.
