Without a doubt, Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of PlayStation’s best single-player games. That hasn’t stopped fans of the wall-crawler from wondering what it would be like to swing across New York with friends. While we know Insomniac Games once worked on a Spider-Man multiplayer title that was ultimately canceled, one creative player has brought the idea to life.
A talented modder has turned Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered into a multiplayer experience, allowing multiple players to control their own Spider-Man and play through the entire campaign together on PC. The mod has been very well received by the superhero’s fanbase.
Fan Mod Turns Marvel’s Spider-Man Into a Multiplayer Game
Some time ago, reports surfaced about a canceled Insomniac project called Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web, a co-op game PlayStation intended to launch as part of its live-service push. Unfortunately, the project never saw the light of day, leaving many fans disappointed.
Enter hbgda, the modder who revived the idea with an impressive multiplayer mod for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Thanks to this project, PC players can now freely explore New York City together, each controlling their own version of Spider-Man.
Beyond free-roaming, players can team up to take down enemies and iconic villains, fully experiencing the campaign side by side. Screenshots and gameplay clips of the mod have amazed the community, with many calling it a fantastic concept that should inspire an official game.
The multiplayer mod is currently in beta, and hbgda continues to refine and improve the experience. Interest is growing fast among players, as the project feels close to what Insomniac envisioned for The Great Web.
It’s worth noting that the mod is paid content, and it remains unclear whether hbgda will release a free version once it’s fully polished.
What Was Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web?
According to reports, Insomniac Games had been developing a multiplayer co-op project called Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web. It reportedly allowed up to five players to take control of different Spider-heroes, including Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Man 2099.
The project was canceled before being officially revealed. Bloomberg reported that Sony shifted away from some live-service games due to their risks. The existence of The Great Web came to light in 2023 when leaked documents and concept art surfaced following an Insomniac hack.
The community remains divided about the project’s cancellation: some fans want it revived, while others prefer Spider-Man to remain a single-player experience.
