Right after theSeptember 2020 PlayStation 5 showcase, Insomniac Games confirmed thatSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswould release with an enhanced version ofSpider-Man PS4, officially dubbedMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered. This update will allowMarvel’sSpider-Manto take full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s features and have overall improved visuals.
However, fans can only obtainMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remastereddigitally by purchasingSpider-Man: Miles MoralesUltimate Edition, which would give them a voucher code used to download the game to their PS5. The physical version of theUltimate Editionalso comes with a voucher, not with a physical copy ofSpider-Man: Remastered.

As a result, some fans have wondered whetherMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remasteredwill get a physical release for the PlayStation 5. When they took to Twitter to ask Insomniac about it directly, the developer replied that it has no plans to release the game physically. It didn’t give a specific reason why, but the answer provided does potentially leave the studio open to change its mind in the future.
In the same Twitter thread, another fan askedInsomniac Gamesif players would be able to transfer their save data from the originalSpider-Man PS4to the newMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered. The developer said “no,” so players won’t be able to use their original save files on the enhanced version of the game.
There are some other things fans should consider before making their purchase.Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Editionwill cost $69.99. The standard edition costs 20 dollars less at $49.99, but it won’t come withMarvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered. Alongside its enhanced visuals, the remastered game will also come withthree new alternative suits for Peter Parker.
Spider-Man: Remasteredalso comes with its own trophy list, so returning players will have to obtain all of the trophies they earned from the original game in their new playthroughs. It’s unclear if the list will have new additions added to it, but the remastered version seems independent enough from the original that this may be possible.
Spider-Man: Remasteredalso comes with the originalSpider-Man PS4’s The City That Never SleepsDLC. This DLC contains three separately-released episodes that all added new missions, suits, and enemies to the original game. Fans may have to do everything from scratch all over again if they choose to get the remaster, but the visuals and other additions might make that return journey worthwhile.
Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis set to launch on November 12th, 2020 for PS5 and PS4.
