Marvel's Spider-Man 2 NG+ Includes Glitch That Could Wipe Your Save Data

The long-awaited New Game+ update for is finally here but it's also managed to introduce a bizarre and potentially frustrating glitch to the game. The latest patch for Insomniac's hit super-hero game introduces a wealth of new content for both Peter Parker and his Spider-Partner Miles Morales as well as some quality-of-life improvements that make an already-excellent even better. 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 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.

Some PlayStation 5 players have noticed that actually entering the debug menu reveals some clues regarding potential DLC expansions or future updates. Upon accessing 's code, users can reportedly observe several mission titles that aren't in the game with many of them pointing to the introduction of The Beetle, a classic Spidey villain. Whether these turn out to be quests that are still in development or scrapped content remains unknown but Insomniac has yet to reveal whether it has any plans for further post-launch updates.

Aside from the debug menu, '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
