How To Enable PlayStation Prompts in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC
Sir, this is a PlayStation game.
Nixxes Software is back with another PC port of a PlayStation-exclusive title, this time with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games. Like Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, this is another solid port that elevates the PS5 to new heights with even better ray-tracing support and plenty of settings to fine-tune the experience on your PC. That said, if you can’t get Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to show the correct button prompts that match your controller, here is how you can fix that.
Enable PlayStation Prompts in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC
Since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has native support for PlayStation and Xbox controllers, you don’t need to use Steam Input which is enabled by default. To make sure the game correctly recognizes the PlayStation controllers, go ahead and disable Steam Input so that the correct prompts show up in-game.
- Make sure Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 isn’t running
- Open Steam, and navigate to your library
- Here, right-click on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and select Properties
- Select the Controller tab, and select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
That’s all you need to do, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will now show the correct in-game prompts depending on which controller you have plugged in. If you’re using a DualSense or DualSense Edge, you must use a wired connection to get the most out of the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Supported Controllers for PC
The game natively supports the following controllers on PC:
- DualSense (PlayStation 5)
- DualSense Edge (PlayStation 5)
- DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4)
- Xbox One
- Xbox 360
- XInput compatible controllers
- Steam Deck
If you are playing with something that isn’t on the list above, you can always enable Steam Input which does the job, but you’ll be stuck with Xbox prompts. Still, Steam Inputs gives players plenty of control over their input and it’s a great way to use third-party controllers that aren’t usually directly supported.
Controller Troubleshooting
If your controller isn’t working properly, we recommend going through our troubleshooting checklist.
- Check detected controllers in the Steam Client: To check detected controllers currently connected to your PC in the Steam client, select Steam > Steam Settings > Controller:
- Connect one controller at a time to avoid potential conflicts.
- Remove any other active input devices like a HOTAS or racing wheel.
- Try a wired connection instead of playing wirelessly.
Nixxes Software has delivered another solid PC port with plenty of things to tweak. It does have some stability issues at the moment, but we’re sure these will be patched pretty soon.
