Spider-Man 2 will allow you to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales when it launches next month, even allowing you to switch between the two web-slingers with just the push of a single button. While it was never confirmed what the other Spider-Man is actually doing when you're not in control of them, most of us assumed that the other would simply vanish into the ether, prepared to leap into action at a moment's notice whenever the player feels like switching again.

To accompany our hands on session with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, we were handed the chance to pose some questions to senior game director Ryan Smith at the London event. Below, we get into how the PS5 hardware has accelerated load times in the sequel, how the open world has evolved, and answer one very important question: has Peter Parker lost any more of his backpacks to collectibles in the years since Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4?

No matter which graphical performance setting Spider-Man 2 players decide to opt for, ray tracing will be included as standard.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a beautiful game, you only have to check out a trailer or gameplay video to confirm that, but we haven’t heard many specifics about what kind of visual modes the game will offer.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans only have to wait a little longer until the game releases on PS5. Today’s State of Play event gave fans a feast to tide them over until next month by dropping not one, but two trailers highlighting everything that players can do and teases of what’s to come that haven’t been announced. For example, one of the trailers focused solely on covering New York within the game and how you’ll get to explore it like never before. The game’s creative director revealed that because of the addition of Queens and Coney Island, the game’s size has basically doubled.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Insomniac Games have released two new trailers for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2—one introducing the game’s expanded Marvel’s New York, which now features both Brooklyn and Queens, and the other introducing its Digital Deluxe Edition content.
