Originally released in October 2023 for PlayStation 5, Spider-Man 2 is often touted by many as the best Spider-Man game of all time. Unfortunately, PC ports of PlayStation-exclusive titles have a reputation for performing terribly on PC at launch. Even though most people were expecting to face a few stutters and lags, their disappointment increased when they experienced multiple crashes.
