If you're excited about the prospect of owning a Spider-Man 2-themed PS5 console, controller, or even just the faceplates, well then we've got some good news. All of these were announced during SDCC last week, and preorders will be officially going live on July 28.
At the time of writing Sony hasn't confirmed a specific time, but it's safe to assume it'll be around 10 AM local time or 7 AM PT in the US like it was for the rest of the Spidey 2 preorders last month. Otherwise, keep an eye on @IGNDeals or @IGNUKDeals on Twitter where we'll be immediately notifying you when preorders go live. Stock is also expected to be quite limited, so it's essential to act quickly if you want to secure your preorder.
Where Can I Preorder the Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bundle?
That's an easy one. PS Direct (UK, US, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Portugal) will definitely have the bundle, DualSense Controller, and console covers available to preorder on July 28 (with all three officially launching on September 1).
Otherwise, Sony has also confirmed that other retailers will be holding the items for preorder as well. In the US, this will likely be at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. We'll be updating this page on July 28 with quick links to the preorder page, so bookmark it ASAP and return tomorrow to stay in the know (or follow @IGNDeals on Twitter).
When Can I Preorder the Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bundle?
July 28 is the confirmed preorder date at PS Direct and other retailers for the Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle, controller, and faceplates. But, Sony has not currently confirmed a specific time that preorders start. Our advice is to follow the start time for the recent Spider-Man 2 preorders which commenced at 10 AM local time or 7 AM PT in the US.
Can I Just Preorder the Spider-Man 2 DualSense or Faceplates?
Yes! Good news if you don't want to buy an entirely new PS5, as the console covers (both for the regular PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition) and the DualSense will be sold separately. A great consumer-friendly move from Sony here, as there's plenty of different options for gamers to choose from.
How Much Does the Spider-Man 2 PS5 Bundle Cost?
Sony hasn't confirmed a price for the console bundle nor the Spidey-themed accessories, but we're expecting the DualSense to be around $80/£70, the faceplates $65/£55, and the console bundle to be around $600/£550. We'll confirm the official prices on July 28, so stay tuned for more info.
