Fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games have encountered a visual glitch tied to the Symbiote suit. The patch that introduced the New Game Plus mode also altered textures, and players quickly pointed to an unusual look in the costume as a notable bug.
Specifically, the interaction between sand particles in the Sandman mission and the surface texture of the Symbiote outfit creates an unsightly effect. What should be a sleek, glossy suit ends up with a gritty, rough finish that makes Peter Parker resemble someone who has spent more time in a sewer than swinging through New York City.
Gamers wasted no time taking to social media to share their reactions and jokes about the issue.
One user joked, “Do not complete the first mission in the Symbiote suit, the sand will remain on the surface and turn Peter into Shitman.”
Others weighed in with humor and skepticism about future fixes, with comments like, “I won’t play the DLC if they fix Peter Pucker.”
Studio insiders at Insomniac Games have not yet issued a public statement addressing the visual anomaly.
It’s worth recalling that the March 7 patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 delivered multiple features, including the New Game Plus option, enhancements for the photo mode, additional costume options, refreshed time-of-day controls, and more improvements that players could explore right away.
