Marvel's Spider-Man already featured Miles and Mary Jane as playable characters (though neither had powers to account for), so combining that tempo with a protagonist-switching mechanic similar to Grand Theft Auto 5 could work surprisingly well in single-player. With Miles being built up in the first Marvel's Spider-Man and in his own game, having the two Spider-Men fight side by side seems like a natural, if challenging, progression. Instead of competitive-focused trials or events, the prevailing sentiment has been that the PS5 Spider-Man 2 should have co-op, with one player assuming the role of Peter Parker and the other as Miles Morales. In the event that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 does include multiplayer, many fans are likely expecting something far from what the leaks described. Strings reading " (Peter/Miles) is the Superior-Spider-Man!" headlined the leak, which may point towards either a limited trial mode in which two players compete for a high score, or a competitive mode that pits players against each other directly. Given the supposed darker tone of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, having Peter and Miles competing against each other would make the stakes feel more contrived, but that's exactly what the leak seems to intimate.

The code included elements such as text strings that would display upon one player's victory in a seemingly competitive mode, references to multiple " teams", and other variable names that indicate more than one player.

While co-op has been a long-requested feature for Marvel's Spider-Man, this is the first inkling that's been given that Insomniac may be exploring the possibility. In this case, such data mining has led to the potential leak of a major feature: multiplayer. As of August 12, the remaster of Marvel's S pider-Man is finally on PC, a platform that offers improved settings, fan-created mods, and the opportunity to examine a game's files to learn more about it.
