Does xbox have a spider man game

Spider-Man is a great property to have at your disposal. Sony itself knows this, as it has the rights to his movies and video games. However, things could have turned out very differently in the latter’s department. According to

Ong stated that Marvel was not happy with the quality of Activision’s Spider-Man games towards the end of their partnership. When Ong told Activision, “I’m going to find a better home for it,” the company responded with, “Good luck finding your unicorn,” which would prove to be a terrible choice of words.

Marvel Games then approached both Xbox and PlayStation for a Spider-Man collaboration. Xbox rejected the offer, stating it wanted to focus on its own IP. So Ong met with PlayStation, saying, “We have a dream that this is possible, that we could beat Arkham and have one game at least and maybe multiple games that could drive adoption of your platform.” PlayStation offered to do an exclusive Spider-Man game with Marvel and tasked Insomniac with developing it. The deal paid off, as Marvel’s Spider-Man sold more than 20 million copies, while the spin-off Miles Morales has sold 6.5 million. Now, a sequel is set to hit PlayStation 5 in 2023, and Insomniac is creating a Wolverine game as well.

I bet Microsoft is kicking itself right now. This just goes to show there are big ramifications in the video game industry for passing up a project. The so-called console wars would be quite different today if Xbox took that deal.

While Playstation appears to currently have some form of exclusivity on the character of Spider-Man in gaming, you can still play a solo game with the character on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms. This is in the way of the game that released many years prior when Activision had the licensing rights to release games, having Beenox work on a number of titles during that period of time.

The likes of which included Edge of Time, Shattered Dimensions and then finally The Amazing Spider-Man games. The second of which is backwards compatible, but it must be the Xbox One version. The Xbox 360 versions of the game do not work, they do not work.

I have to repeat that, as many seem to not get that element. Past that, it’s hard to get this game as you can’t regularly purchase it anymore since it’s been delisted digitally. I’ll continue details wise below, see some gameplay of the title running below and it’s detailed there as well if you want the visual format.


So yes, the game has been digitally delisted. That means that if you didn’t buy it digitally before it was removed you won’t be able to play this game on the Xbox Series S. If you did buy it, just download it and get playing which is exciting. If you’re on the Xbox Series X you can play it digitally, or find someone online selling a physical copy which will allow you to enjoy the game.

It’s really that easy, and once again it’s specifically “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” game on Xbox One that works here, no other iteration or change-up. It’s a very limited and rare title to acquire so good luck finding one to enjoy. There shouldn’t be any issues playing it once you’ve got your hands on the copy.

Consider yourself lucky if you did have a digital or physical copy from prior as you’ll get to play the game or in the physical sense could make a bit of a profit on the resale.

Will Marvel's Spider

Its not on Xbox One because its a PlayStation exclusive game. This means that PlayStation made a deal with Insomniac Games (developer of the game) which was that they would develop and release the game only for the PlayStation platform and in turn the developer received remuneration of several kind.

Why is Spider

Microsoft once turned down Marvel's offer to make exclusive games for Xbox in favor of its own IP. The Insomniac Spider-Man games are now synonymous with Sony and PlayStation consoles, but things could have gone quite differently.
