Summary
Fans who missed out on the special editionMarvel’s Spider-Man 2PlayStation 5 faceplates will get another chance to grab them before the game launches next week. The highly-anticipated next chapter in Insomniac’sSpider-Manseries is finally near, and it will continue the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they swing acrossan expanded New York Cityand battle legendary enemies like Venom and Kraven the Hunter.
Sony and Insomniac have naturally begun ramping up their promotion forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2ahead of its launch, but one of the game’s most talked-about tie-ins was made available to the public way back in July. As it tends to do with high-profile first-party exclusives, Sony offered eager fans special-editionPlayStation 5 console patterned afterSpider-Man 2, featuring a red faceplate that appears to be overrun by the sinister Venom symbiote. Unfortunately for those who wanted these custom PS5 faceplates, the bundles they were available in sold out almost immediately after pre-orders went live, and scalpers would soon snatch them up to sell at inflated prices later on.
Luckily, players will get another opportunity to pick up the limited-editionMarvel’s Spider-Man 2PlayStation 5 faceplates ahead of the game’s launch thanks to Best Buy. According to Wario64, these faceplates will be available to order through the Best Buy Drops mobile app on October 18 - two days beforeSpider-Man 2swings onto the PS5. Additionally, the fullSpider-Man 2PS5 console will be available on October 19, and fans who just want a special black-and-redSpider-Man 2PS5 DualSense controller will be able to order one on October 20.
This Best Buy news comes not too long after Sony officially announced anewSpider-Man 2PlayStation 5 bundleearlier this month - though that offer only consisted of the game and the standard white PS5 console. Over the past few years, Sony has been offering up new color schemes for its newest gaming system, though disappointed fans have resorted to making their own customSpider-Man 2faceplates in light of the official product’s scarcity.
At least fans will have another shot at securing the special editionMarvel’s Spider-Man 2PlayStation 5 faceplates, consoles, and controllers before the game arrives next week by ordering them on Best Buy’s mobile app. These supplies will likely run out as quickly as they did back in July, so fans looking to playSpider-Man 2in style will probably have to hustle to secure one in time for Peter and Miles’s latest superhero adventure.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
