A PC-only multiplayer mod released August 26 enables Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered to be played with up to six other players. The mod was developed by modder hbgda and is available through the creator's Patreon, with gameplay clips shared by creators on TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. The multiplayer experience appears surprisingly stable and polished despite the original PC game not being designed for online co-op and multiple players swinging around the map simultaneously. The mod evokes the canceled Insomniac project Spider-Man: The Great Web, which Bloomberg reported was canceled before its 2024 leaked trailer after the December 2023 data breach.
On August 26, as spotted by ComicBook, a new PC-only mod has been released online that allows people to play Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered with up to six other players. The mod was developed by modder hbgda and is available to those who subscribe to the creator's Patreon. You can see what the mod looks like in action below, courtesy of a video shared by popular creator Kami on TikTok and Twitter.
There are also multiple YouTube videos of the multiplayer Spider-Man mod in action, and it looks surprisingly stable for something as ambitious and wild as this. Sure, it's not perfect, but considering Marvel's Spider-Man on PC was never designed to support multiplayer, let alone seven people running and swinging around the map at the same time, the fact that this mod is not only playable but looks extremely polished is incredibly impressive.
Watching footage of hbgda's mod in action has me hankering to install Spider-Man on my PC and try this out. It also makes me sad that we never got Insomniac's online multiplayer Spider-Man game. It was reportedly going to be called Spider-Man: The Great Web and would have involved hopping between dimensions alongside your friends. Sadly, according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, the game was canceled long before the trailer for it leaked in 2024 in the wake of the December 2023 Insomniac data breach.
