Summary
- Best Buy will be offering limited-edition Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 faceplates for order through their mobile app on October 18.
- The full Spider-Man 2 PS5 console will be available for purchase on October 19, and a special black-and-red Spider-Man 2 PS5 DualSense controller on October 20.
- Fans should act quickly to secure these special edition items, as supplies are expected to run out quickly, as they did when they were first released in July.
Fans who missed out on the special edition Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 faceplates will get another chance to grab them before the game launches next week. The highly-anticipated next chapter in Insomniac’s Spider-Man series is finally near, and it will continue the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they swing across an expanded New York City and battle legendary enemies like Venom and Kraven the Hunter.
Sony and Insomniac have naturally begun ramping up their promotion for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ahead of its launch, but one of the game’s most talked-about tie-ins was made available to the public way back in July. As it tends to do with high-profile first-party exclusives, Sony offered eager fans special-edition PlayStation 5 console patterned after Spider-Man 2, featuring a red faceplate that appears to be overrun by the sinister Venom symbiote. Unfortunately for those who wanted these custom PS5 faceplates, the bundles they were available in sold out almost immediately after pre-orders went live, and scalpers would soon snatch them up to sell at inflated prices later on.
Luckily, players will get another opportunity to pick up the limited-edition Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 faceplates ahead of the game’s launch thanks to Best Buy. According to Wario64, these faceplates will be available to order through the Best Buy Drops mobile app on October 18 - two days before Spider-Man 2 swings onto the PS5. Additionally, the full Spider-Man 2 PS5 console will be available on October 19, and fans who just want a special black-and-red Spider-Man 2 PS5 DualSense controller will be able to order one on October 20.
This Best Buy news comes not too long after Sony officially announced a new Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 bundle earlier this month - though that offer only consisted of the game and the standard white PS5 console. Over the past few years, Sony has been offering up new color schemes for its newest gaming system, though disappointed fans have resorted to making their own custom Spider-Man 2 faceplates in light of the official product’s scarcity.
At least fans will have another shot at securing the special edition Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 faceplates, consoles, and controllers before the game arrives next week by ordering them on Best Buy’s mobile app. These supplies will likely run out as quickly as they did back in July, so fans looking to play Spider-Man 2 in style will probably have to hustle to secure one in time for Peter and Miles’s latest superhero adventure.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
