Insomniac Games' Spider-Man 2 received an update that removed a glitch allowing players to roam freely as Venom. This glitch, discovered in a late-game mission, fascinated players but also caused save file corruption.

The patch fixed the glitch, sparking hopes among fans for future Venom-centric content. Users on forums have suggested additional modes or features that enable playing as Venom post-completion. Insomniac's commitment to game integrity was highlighted by their removal of other odd glitches, like one that replaced Spider-Man with a white cube.

The update, version 1.001.005, introduced a swath of general fixes improving NPC behavior, mission triggers, collision detection, and character model issues. It provided various gameplay optimizations and stability improvements as well.

In related news, Insomniac announced sales of Spider-Man 2 surpassing 5 million copies. Players are encouraged to use available guides and maps to enhance their gaming experience.
