Marvel’s Avengers has been at the center of something of a controversy of late, what with it having been confirmed that Spider-Man will be a playable character exclusively in the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game when he is added to the game next year, with all other platforms being locked out of possibly the most popular character in the roster. And while that’s down to the fact that Sony holds the exclusive license for the Spider-Man property in both films and games, publisher Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics have been catching a lot of flak for this decision.
What exactly is Crystal Dynamics’ response to those who will be playing their upcoming game on Xbox or PC and won’t be able to get access to Spider-Man, however? Well, it certainly won’t do them any favours amidst all this furor, that’s for sure. When asked about the same, Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos told IGN Japan said that there’s plenty more characters in the game for players on other platforms to enjoy, before adding that if Xbox and PC players want to play as Spider-Man, they have the option to do so… on PlayStation.
“I would say that Marvel’s Avengers has a lot of heroes, and with the scope and the breadth of this game and this universe, players are going to have their hands full with a lot to play with,” Amos said. “And as we have just announced with Hawkeye, there are more heroes to come. So this is an opportunity to celebrate (Spider-Man’s addition) uniquely for those players (on PlayStation) because of that relationship, but I think there’s so much of a world for people to explore, I wouldn’t look as that as a reason not to embrace it (the opportunity to add Spider-Man on PS4 and PS5). I would say, look at all this stuff you get to play with.
Our friendly neighbourhood superhero is finally confirmed to be coming back to PlayStation! Just this afternoon, PlayStation’s twitter revealed that Spider-Man is coming to join Marvel’s Avengers as one of the DLC heroes. Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man comes to Marvel's Avengers, exclusively on PlayStation. Aug 03, 2020 In a PlayStation Blog post on Monday, Crystal Dynamics associate art director Jeff Adams revealed that Spider-Man will come to Marvel’s Avengers sometime next year. However, Spider-Man will only.
“And for those players who absolutely want to play as Spider-Man, you have the option to do so on PlayStation.”
‘If you want to play as Spider-Man, get a PlayStation’ doesn’t seem like a response that will smooth things over, if I’m being perfectly honest. You do have to feel for the developers working on the game, since a character being exclusive to a platform due to licensing isn’t something they have any control over, but I doubt responses such as the one given by Amos will help matters.
Crystal Dynamics have confirmed that Spider-Man will be the only platform-exclusive character in Marvel’s Avengers. Meanwhile, it’s also been confirmed that the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game will also have timed exclusive cosmetic content. The first post-launch character that will be added to the game has been confirmed as Hawkeye, and he most certainly isn’t exclusive to any platform.
Marvel’s Avengers launches on September 4 for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia, and will be arriving on PS5 and Xbox Series X later in the year, with free next-gen upgrades supported on both. We recently spent several hours with the game thanks to beta early access- you can read our impressions through here.
Spider-Man coming to Marvel’s Avengers in 2021!
We may only be a month away from the highly-anticipated debut of Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers and after revealing last week that Hawkeye would be joining the roster in a post-launch release, it’s now been announced that Spider-Man will also be swinging into the game in 2021 exclusively on PlayStation consoles for free! Check out the announcement below!

In a post on the official PlayStation Blog, Crystal Dynamics’ Associate Art Director Jeff Adams revealed bringing the character to the title is “so personal” to him, as he grew up seeing himself reflected in Peter Parker, and offered new details on what players will be able to do as the webslinger as he is taken out of his home New York.
“Watching Spider-Man adapt to new surroundings was such a great contrast to his status quo,” Adams wrote. “That tone is exactly what we want to capture for him in Marvel’s Avengers. A familiar but fresh Spider-Man who needs to evolve to take on global threats alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. To make sure this team up goes smoothly, Vince Napoli, our Lead Combat Designer, is hard at work making Spider-Man just as great on the sticks as he is on the page. This means making sure our hero moves and fights like he should, no matter which one of our War Zones he finds himself in. When he’s arcing through the air on his web line, we want you to feel graceful and light, and be able to utilize a variety of web configurations and gadgets to enhance your traversal. Spider-Man’s impressive acrobatic abilities will complement the experience, allowing you to seamlessly transition from navigation to combat.”
In building this combat, Adams says players will be able to fluidly fight enemies and will get to use the “unique skill tree” that Napoli and his team are utilizing for the rest of the ensemble Marvel roster, which will include an “impressive suite of iconic abilities and attacks” as well as gadgets and skills that can be upgraded along the way. He also describes Crystal’s adaptation of the Stan Lee and Steve Ditko-created character as “sensational,” seeing his partnership with Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Ms. Marvel adding “a whole new dimension” to the character.
“It’s not enough for Spider-Man to just play like he should… he also needs to look like he should,” Adams wrote. “That’s why when going through the process of conceptualizing his suit, we went back to the beginning. Steve Ditko set the standard with his Spider-Man design, and John Romita Sr. evolved it into an icon recognized the world over. Fans can expect to see Ditko and Romita’s influence in our take on the hero, with nods to other talented artists that have defined the character’s look over his long history. When Spider-Man comes to our stable of heroes, we’ll be marking his debut with an in-game event that will introduce him to the wider world of Marvel’s Avengers. The event is comprised of a series of unique challenges for the hero to take on, testing his abilities, and yielding some exciting results. And like the rest of our heroes in Marvel’s Avengers, we will offer multiple cosmetic outfits and gameplay experience options, so you can make your vision of the wall crawler a reality.“
