How long is Marvel's Spider-Man 2? The time to beat it, whether just the story or a full 100% completion, isn't quite as long as you might expect by the usual standards of big budget open world games - by which I mean they aren't a million hours long like some games are. After getting through it myself, I was a bit surprised by how fast the game swung by, but for some people that's not necessarily a bad thing. If you want to find out how long it takes to beat Marvel's Spider-Man 2, everything you need to know will be found below!
How long to beat Spider-Man 2?
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will take the following amount of time to beat, depending on the playthrough you're aiming for:
- Standard playthrough: 15-18 hours
- Just story: 12-15 hours
- 100% completion: 24-28 hours
In retrospect, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 might be a shorter, snackier game than some were expecting, especially when many AAA games these days are comfortably in excess of 50 hours minimum. That's even with a single playthrough containing plenty of collectibles and side mission challenges to take on such as the Spider-Man 2 Spider Bots and Spider-Man 2 Mysteriums. Still, the game seems fairly replayable, even without Spider-Man 2 new game plus currently, as once you beat it the first time you can unlock a new difficulty level, "Ultimate", allowing players to take their skills and abilities and apply them to a far more perilous level of challenge.
However, if you're just in it for the story and a bit of extra content to make sure you're not underleveled, such as a few side quests and collectibles, maybe swinging around the city just vibing for a while, you'll probably be finished before the 20 hour mark. Admittedly, difficulty and player skill level does factor here – Spider-Man 2 does hold a few difficulty spikes and generally is a little more challenging than the comfortable power fantasies of its predecessors – but you can always adjust the difficulty in the settings to bring it to a level you're comfortable with.
