Swapping suits is a rather easy affair, but it cannot be done until players complete the first mission against Sandman. After swinging around New York and helping its citizens, Peter will remark on his suit being too sandy.

This will prompt a new main quest, “Suit is Sandy” - in which he will have to head to the designated point and replace his suit. Next, simply open up the main menu and craft the Advanced Suit 2.0 to proceed.

Certain suits also offer gameplay changes, allowing for new abilities and perks that boost your combat proficiency whilst maintaining a fresh layer of depth.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was released worldwide on October 20, 2023. This PlayStation 5-exclusive title is a sequel to 2020’s excellent Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, taking place 10 months after the events of the former.

Players take control of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they swing their way through Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan - fighting crime along the way. The game sets an excellent narrative, as both Spider-Men struggle to manage their personal lives and superhero alter-egos.

The game also introduces with it the threat of the infamous symbiote, Venom, as it slowly affects Peter’s mind and personality, threatening to tear the city apart.
