Update: Pre-orders will open on 28th July for a stunning new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition hardware model. The console, which features a custom design, will be available in two permutations, both with or without a Blu-ray disc slot. It’ll also come with a matching DualSense design, showcasing the duality of Peter Parker’s struggle against the Venom symbiote.
“The design was inspired by the in-game symbiote that’s taking over the console and controller, but you can still see some of the underlying red under the tendrils,” said Insomniac Games’ art director Jacinda Chew. “This represents the various ways players will experience the symbiote takeover in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s a constant push and pull for dominance whether it’s internal or external and the outcome is not certain.”
If you’ve already got a PS5 console then you’ll be able to pick up the new DualSense controller or custom console covers as standalone purchases, so you don’t need to buy an entire new system to get this look. The console bundle, meanwhile, will include a download code for the full Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 game, available to enjoy from launch day, on 20th October.
Original Article: To close out its San Diego Comic-Con panel, Insomniac Games has announced a limited edition Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 console bundle, which comes with custom faceplates and a themed DualSense design. The system showcases the duality of Peter Parker in the new game, as his distinctive red is slowly overwhelmed by Venom.
The controller has a similar design, with the now iconic white spider logo from Parker’s suit printed on the touchpad, while the red occupies the area behind the face buttons. The bundle will release on 1st September, prior to the game’s launch on 20th October. We’ll update with more information as and when it emerges.

Now that is a good looking design, if only they released them as seperate plates. Also just noticed that clever but small detail where they keep the buttons on the right white like the faceplates
This. This is what I have been waiting for, the reason I want a PS5. I really hope I can find them stocked well after release, because it’s kinda releasing at a bad time for me, but I REALLY want this
Goddammit, you got symbiote on my controller!
Mainly just want the controller but will see if I can luck into the full bundle. These all look terrific!
@Nepp67 good news both controller and faceplates are being sold separately
I am 100% getting the controller and the faceplates
So I guess this means no slim PS5 model until October?
It’s about fricking time
