Spider-Man 2 Debuts to 'Mixed' Steam Reviews Amid Serious PC Performance Problems

Mar 22,2025 Author: Isabella

Spider-Man 2's PC port, initially touted for its surprising performance based on its system requirements, has received a mixed reception on Steam. A significant number of players report encountering various technical issues, resulting in a current 55% positive user review rating.

Many users, even those with high-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 and the latest drivers, experience frequent crashes. One user reported crashes every five minutes, rendering the game unplayable. Another described the game as "rough," citing issues such as slowdowns in cutscenes, audio desynchronization, freezing, stuttering, and incomplete lighting. Several reviews mention requesting refunds due to these persistent problems.

The primary problem seems to be frequent crashes of the game's graphics controller, even on powerful PCs. A common error message points to outdated drivers, overly demanding in-game settings, GPU overheating, or game errors.

Beyond crashes, other reported issues include malfunctioning DLSS and ray tracing, lengthy loading times, missing textures, and audio problems. Some players claim performance stutters worsen after extended play sessions, ultimately causing hard crashes, possibly due to a memory leak.

Nixxes Software, the port developer, acknowledged the crashes on the Steam forums, directing users to their support website for troubleshooting guides and instructions on submitting logs and crash dumps for faster resolution. They also addressed a bug affecting photo-op missions, suggesting lowering graphics settings or resolution as a temporary workaround if the frame rate drops below 20 FPS.
