As a free update, all of these extra features can be enjoyed without paying a cent but players need to be aware of a major bug that may ruin their enjoyment.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) Insomniac Games made it clear that the 1.002.000 patch for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has introduced a developer-only debug menu into the game that can be accessed by anyone.
Doing so can reveal some insight into the game's code but using it comes with the risk of breaking the software and deleting and all save data. The rest of the experience is still fully functional and is unaffected by the debug menu but to prevent accidents, the developer is already working on a hotfix for the problem that it will release as soon as it's ready.

Aside from the debug menu, Marvel's Spider-Man 2's New Game+ update has added a ton of improvements to the game that fans have been requesting since it launched in October 2023. Aside from plenty of new suits, a mission replay option means fans can experience their favorite missions at will without needing to set a save state or play through the whole game, and the time of day can now be switched between day and night at will. Perhaps most exciting is the Action Figure setting for Photo Mode which allows photographers to shrink down characters and pose them in places they otherwise wouldn't fit.
