In 2018,Marvel’s Spider-Manhit shelves and digital storefronts worldwide. The game was released to strong sales and a warm reception from critics and was praised as the best Marvel-based video game in years. Despite all of this praise, however,Marvel’s Spider-Manwill still occasionally bug out.
When the game was first released on the PlayStation 4, it earned an impressive 87 Metacritic score. Despite this high average rating, just like with most open-world games,Marvel’s Spider-Manplayers have stumbled upon some odd sights. One bug, for example, sendsSpider-Man to Doctor Strange’s Mirror Dimension, while others show other obnoxious instances of the web-slinger getting stuck in buildings. However, most bugs do not interfere with the main story or cut scenes.

In another instance, a bug causedBlack Cat to run around in circles inMarvel’s Spider-Man,but didn’t otherwise interfere with the game’s cutscenes or story. A recent video continues the trend of silly glitches, as Reddit user IvJam revealed an instance where a bug completely ruined a cut scene as Spider-Man and company prepared to attack their enemy. Thankfully, the cutscene wasn’t one of the game’s more important moments, so the issue didn’t ruin any of the big dramatic events.
In the video, players see Spider-Man aid his police contact Yuri Watanabe. Specifically, he helps her S.W.A.T. team go from one rooftop to another to assault an enemy force. For some strange reason, however, Spider-Man’s hands begin moving all over the place at rapid speed as he webs a nearby building. The limbs of the S.W.A.T. team members do something similar until the video ends. Unlikethe cool Symbiote bug, this particular glitch is more funny than anything else.
Since the game was released,Marvel’s Spider-Manhas sold over 33 million copies worldwide. The game has since been released on the PlayStation 5 as well as the PC as Sony begins to expand into the market. A spin-off game titledSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswas released in 2020 and focused on the character of the same name. Developer Insomniac Games is currently working on a direct sequel to both games, which will see both characters taking on Venom and Kraven the Hunter. Thetrailer forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2was revealed in September 2021, and the game is currently set for a 2023 release date, which will undoubtedly give fans a new set of unexpected glitches to encounter. For now, however, fans will have to be content with the hilarious bugs that pop up in the first game.
