Latest Spider-Man 2 Patch Removes Venom Free Roam

Despite being out for almost a month now, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is still one of the most discussed games. Recently, Insomniac released an update that took away the little extra fun players had when not playing the main story.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Patch Removes Venom Free Roam

Version 1.001.005 patch is the most recent update applied to Spider-Man 2. Besides several bug fixes and performance stability solutions, a fun glitch that involved Venom was removed from the game.

Previously and before the arrival of the update, players were able to free-roam New York City as 19 inches of Venom. The glitch that was identified by an avid player allowed you to maneuver your way around the main story of the game.

Once you got it right to exit the main story without abandoning the mission, you could swing around, take a swim, and take a bike ride while being the main villain of the game. What you could do was limited, but fun nonetheless.

Sadly, all the Venom fun is over now after you install the latest update, and you’ll have to wait for another player to break the game and find some new tricks for the rest of us.

“Addressed an issue where the player character could leave a mission and enter the open world resulting in corrupted save.”
