Spider-Man 2 Launches to Mixed Steam Reviews with PC Issues

Spider-Man 2 has launched on PC, but players are reporting severe performance issues, leading to 'mixed' reviews on Steam. Despite being hyped for strong performance, many gamers with high-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 are experiencing crashes and frame rate drops. Issues reported include frequent crashes, audio desync, missing textures, and problems with features like DLSS and ray tracing. Players are advised to wait for stabilization patches due to the chaotic launch.

Common performance issues include frequent crashes, long loading times, audio synchronization problems, and troublesome graphics settings, with some users suspecting a memory leak as a potential cause. Many players with high-end systems have found the game unplayable, leading to a push for refunds.

Spider-Man 2, developed by Insomniac Games, is part of the acclaimed Spider-Man franchise and follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they navigate new challenges. Previous installments have set high expectations for gameplay and graphics, making these technical issues particularly disappointing for fans eager for a smooth experience.
