Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is a remastered version of the PlayStation 4 game from 2018. The game and subsequent remaster for PlayStation 5 were developed by Insomniac Games, while the PC version is being developed by Nixxes Software and published by PlayStation PC. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is the first traditional Spider-Man game to release on PC since The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014. The PC version improves in a variety of aspects compared to the PlayStation 5 release, including improved shadows, improved ray traced reflections (full resolution instead of half resolution, and more objects can be included in the ray traced reflections), FoV slider, HBAO+, FSR 2.0, DLSS, DLAA, ultrawide screen support, improved texture filtering and an unlocked frame rate.[1]
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered released on August 12, 2022, almost two years after it was originally released for the PlayStation 5 in 2020.
The PC version was well received by reviewers with it being praised as a good quality port, with some criticism going to performance sometimes not being optimal on certain hardware configurations. The game was found to be quite CPU intensive in some scenarios, especially during traversal and when ray traced reflections are turned on.[2] Four days before release, Nixxes Software implemented significant performance improvements, ray tracing fixes and expanded graphical options for ray tracing, traffic density and crowd density to address most issues reviewers noted, indicating that some reviews might not fully reflect the state of the game on release date.[3][4][5][6]
Post-launch patches brought various bug, crash and stability fixes, while improving the overall stability of the game. These patches also introduced sharpness sliders for both upscaling and in-game sharpening filters.[7]

Ambient occlusion
- It was reported, at launch, that SSAO seemed to deliver a more pleasing and plausible result compared to the HBAO+ option.[9] The look and quality of HBAO+ has been significantly improved by update v1.817.1.0 and v1.831.2.0, but SSAO might still look superior in some cases.[10][11][12][13]

Issues Resolved
Freezes and stutters during traversal
- An SSD is strongly recommended for any graphics preset above Very Low at 720p at 30 FPS to prevent streaming related stutter and freezes.[16]
Install the game on an SSD[16]
|
Windows 10 version 1909 (Build 18363) or higher error
- Patch v1.817.1.0 improved the Windows version check to prevent false positives of this error message.[17]
Update your Windows installation to Windows 10 version 1909 (Build 18363) or higher[18]
|
- Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered makes use of the DirectX Agility SDK, which requires Window 10 version 1909 (Build 18363) or newer.
- Some specific revisions of Windows 10 1909, 2004 and 20H2 don't have this SDK installed. If Windows 10 version 1909 is installed, the revision number should exceed or be equal to .1350. For Windows 10 Version 2004 and 20H2, the revision number should exceed or be equal to .789.[19]
|
Turn off compatibility mode on Steam.exe[20]
|
- If you get a Windows 10 version 1909 (Build 18363) or higher error message even though they have a newer Windows version, for example Windows 11. Then the issue is likely that Steam.exe is running in compatibility mode.
- Solution doesn't seem to work for everyone.[21]
- Go to steam installation folder, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
- Right click on Steam.exe
- Click on Properties
- Go to the Compatibility tab and make sure Run this program in compatibility mode is not checked.
- Click on Change settings for all users
- Click on Apply
- Fully close Steam, so it is not even visible on the taskbar anymore
- Open Steam again
- Play the game
|
Video Memory Crash
- The game can crash with the following error: The game has crashed due to using more video memory than currently available on this PC. Please try lowering your graphics settings, lowering your resolution, and closing any unnecessary background applications before running the game again.[22]
High-end PC's: let Windows manage the page file size[22]
|
- This error can occur on systems with high-end hardware, when the Windows page file does not offer enough space to allocate VRAM budget. This can happen when a custom page file size is set as it is typically recommend letting Windows automatically manage the virtual memory size.
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard
- Search for sysdm.cpl
- Go to the Advanced tab
- Press Settings under the Performance section.
- Press the Advanced tab in the Performance Options window.
- Under Virtual memory, press Change.
- Check that the box for Automatically manage paging file size for all drives is enabled.
|
Low-end PC's and laptops: lower your graphical settings[22]
|
- This crash might occur on lower-end hardware because the available VRAM and system memory is not enough for the selected graphical settings.
|
Ray tracing is greyed out even though GPU supports it
- Some specific Windows version lack the support for Shader Model 6.6, which is required by the game.[19]
Execute the steps from Update your Windows installation to Windows 10 version 1909 (Build 18363) or higher
Issues unresolved
SMT and HT causing inconsistent CPU usage
- Happens when SMT (Ryzen) or HT (Intel) is enabled [23]
- The game seemingly can't efficiently use the logical cores available via the use of SMT/HT when the CPU has more than 6 cores, disabling it may increase CPU core utilization and improve game performance in CPU intensive scenarios[24]
- Nixxes will probably fix the incorrect usage of logical cores in a future update to the game.
- Disabling SMT/HT can severely impact the performance of games and applications. Strongly advised to turn it back on after quitting the game.
Disable CPU multithreading[25]
|
- If you're using Ryzen CPU - Disable SMT (Simultaneous multithreading) in BIOS settings or via the Ryzen Master program.
- If you're using an Intel CPU - Disable HT (Hyper-Threading) from BIOS settings
|
Cutscenes are partially blurred at aspect ratios wider than 21:9
- Happens when upscaling is enabled.
Workaround[26]
|
- Disable upscaling, if used.
