Summary
- With the game officially on PC, Spider-Man 2 mods are out in full-force, including some rather hilarious character swaps.
- However, the real treat is a new mod that allows players to control Venom throughout the open world.

With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the sequel to Insomniac Games’ title of the same name, now out on PC, it didn’t take too long before the mods came out in full force. Already, there is a mod that gives Peter back his original haircut, plus another that replaces Miles Morales’ divisive haircut. That’s not to make mention of the mod that manages to bypass the PSN requirements.

What Was The Best Spider-Man Game Before Insomniac Took Over?
There were dozens of Spider-Man games before Insomniac became the Spider-Man studio, but which ones were the best?
There’s also several rather hilarious mods available, including one that makes the Fortnite iteration of Hatsune Miku a playable character, as well as another that adds CJ and Big Smoke from GTA: San Andreas. That said, the real mod that fans have been waiting for — a fully playable Venom — is now out, and it looks epic.
Venom Free Roam Is Now Possible
Over on Nexus Mods, a site dedicated to mods for various games, user Chrisbuss has uploaded a mod that allows players to control Venom throughout the world.
According to the description, the mod replaces Spider-Man’s traditional black suit with Venom. In place of his powers, Venom’s own abilities have been added. Specifically, “Spider Barrage” and “Anti-Venom Blast” have been replaced with Venom’s versions.
Spoilers for Spider-Man 2 to follow
There are plans to add the grab ability in the future, though the mod looks fairly stable as is. The creator also noted plans to swap the existing Spider-Man photo-mode with a Venom photo-mode, plus an adjustment to traversal, meaning the mod could look closer to a full Venom game before long.
As fans who played Spider-Man 2 at launch know, the surprise of being able to play as Venom, even for a short while, was one of the game’s biggest highlights. Now, with the mod, it looks like gamers will be able to experience that to their heart’s content. That’s especially clutch, considering Insomniac hinted at a spin-off, though no plans have been announced.
