New Spider-Man 2 Patch 1.001.003 Corrects Cuban Flag Error; Insomniac Apologizes

includes several new mechanics to set the game apart from its predecessors, such as web wings for traversal, or the inclusion of symbiote abilities for Peter Parker. While the game does pare back the amount of gadgets that are available from previous entries, eschewing the gadget wheel selection menu for a more streamlined system, it does add a new item that can greatly improve stealth.

Insomniac Games has just rolled out Spider-Man 2 update 1.001.004 for PlayStation 5, which addresses various issues and improves stability.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hit PlayStation 5 exclusively on October 20 and quickly became Sony's fastest-selling first-party game. While we loved the game – read Game Informer's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review here – players have discovered bugs and issues leading to laughter and, in some cases, progress impediment. Fortunately, developer Insomniac Games has been quick to fix issues with updates, like one last week that fixed an incorrect flag and the infamous white cube model issue. 

This Marvel's Spider-Man 2 swing comparison video has made fans realize just how much more nimble Peter and Miles are in the sequel. 

If you're anything like us, then you've already played all there is to offer in Insomniac's excellent superhero romp and are left pondering, «Does Spider-Man 2 have New Game Plus?»

Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has acknowledged that Sandman's inclusion in the sequel is a bit of a plothole thanks to a collectible that could be found in the first game.

Marvel comics, TV shows, and especially movies seem to have a requirement to emphasize the “what’s next” of it all, where the end of everything is also a tease for something else. Well, folks, Insomniac Games took that assignment, ran with it, and took a few extra laps just for good measure.

What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made recently? Don’t be afraid to share. We’ve all made mistakes that have been of a certain vein or style in the last week or so. But we hope that no matter your mistake, it was a “minor one” and not one that really upset people. For example, Insomniac Games have been praised for their dedication to the lore of the Spider-Men in their titles and have been equally praised for how they’ve been portrayed. So you can understand why the fans were upset when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 made an error of rather large proportions.

Insomniac Games has apologized for a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 mix-up that saw a Cuban flag hung up in Miles Morales's room instead of a Puerto Rican one.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hit PlayStation 5 exclusively last week and it's already Sony's fastest-selling first-party game. While we loved the game – read Game Informer's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 here – once players got their hands on the game, some encountered a few bugs and issues, like one where their character model became a small white cube that looks like tofu. Plus, players discovered a Cuban flag was displayed inside and outside the Morales household rather than the expected Puerto Rican flag. A new update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 out today fixes both of these issues and more. 

A Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player has discovered a glitch that lets Venom step out of his dedicated mission and go on a tour of New York City. 

Spider-Man 2 is chock full of references to other Marvel properties, as New York itself features locations such as the Avengers Tower, the Sanctum Sanctorum, and the Wakandan Embassy, all of which are references to The Avengers, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. In fact, the latter even lets you throw up a wholesome Wakanda Forever salute outside of its doors as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, but you'd better make sure you're playing as Miles Morales if you want to do it.
