Sony has made a major addition to its PlayStation Plus subscription service, announcing that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will join the Game Catalog starting February 17. This move makes one of the PlayStation 5's highest-rated exclusive titles available to all PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tier subscribers at no additional cost beyond their monthly membership fee.

- Neva (PS5, PS4)
- Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown (PS5)

Spider-Man 2 Gameplay Features and Success
Developed by Insomniac Games, the 2023 sequel represents a significant evolution in the Spider-Man gaming franchise. Players can seamlessly switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales throughout the adventure, exploring an expanded version of New York City that now includes Brooklyn and Queens alongside the familiar Manhattan setting.
Each Spider-Man character features a distinct skill tree and unique abilities. Miles Morales wields his signature electric Venom powers, while Peter Parker receives a symbiote-fuelled upgrade that dramatically changes his combat style and capabilities. The game has achieved remarkable commercial success, selling over 11 million copies since its initial launch, making it one of the PlayStation 5's best-selling exclusive titles.
Notable Standouts in the February Lineup
Beyond the headline addition of Spider-Man 2, the February PlayStation Plus update includes several noteworthy titles. Neva, developed by Nomada Studio (creators of the acclaimed Gris), emerges as a sleeper pick—a visually striking 2D platformer that follows a young woman and her wolf companion through a decaying world across changing seasons. A paid prequel expansion for Neva is scheduled to arrive next week.
For PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, the classic Disney Pixar Wall-E from the PS2 era joins the Classics catalog. This title features puzzle-based solo gameplay alongside four-player competitive mini-games, offering nostalgic entertainment for long-time PlayStation fans.
Complete Insomniac Spider-Man Trilogy Now Available
With Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales already accessible through the PlayStation Plus service, the addition of Spider-Man 2 means that Extra and Premium subscribers can now experience the entire Insomniac Spider-Man trilogy as part of their membership. This comprehensive access comes as fans eagerly await Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game, scheduled for release later this year.
Future PlayStation Plus Additions Announced
Sony has also revealed several future additions to the PlayStation Plus service during its recent State of Play broadcast. Tekken Dark Resurrection will join the Classics catalog in March, while the original Time Crisis arrives in May with enhanced gyroscopic aiming functionality via the DualSense controller.
Looking further ahead, Big Walk, the next project from House House (developers of Untitled Goose Game), is confirmed to launch directly into all PlayStation Plus tiers sometime in 2026, demonstrating Sony's commitment to expanding the service's value proposition for subscribers.
