Beyond NYC Atmosphere
Created by okangel
For those looking to get more out of the atmosphere and environments within Spider-Man 2, this mod is a great choice. Modder okangel changes up the open world day atmosphere that occurs naturally within the game into a custom option that highlights the New York environment even more so with new weather and colors.
There are four options to choose from with this mod: default, no color filter, no rain particles, or no rain and no filter. This allows for customization, so players can get the full effect of the mod or only certain elements if they so choose.

The animated Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse film is considered by many to be one of the best Spider-Man movies, so it’s no surprise that several mods incorporate elements of the Spiderverse franchise. This mod does just that, as it allows players to listen to one of the main songs from the film – Sunflower – in the game’s main menu.

Sunflower, by Post Malone and Swae Lee, was hugely popular when Into the Spiderverse was released in 2019.

No Intro Movies
Created by Mamito
While the introductory logos and movies that play before Spider-Man 2 begins are not too time-consuming, they can be a little frustrating for those who want to jump into the game immediately. This mod helps with that, allowing players to skip these features entirely.
This is a mod that needs the aforementioned Overstrike mod manager to work, so be sure to have that downloaded and ready to go before installing the No Intro Movies mod.

John Bubniak Face Model
Created by CarlosRPG5555
One particularly controversial choice with the Marvel’s Spider-Man games was the decision to change the facial model for Peter Parker from John Bubniak to Ben Jordan. The developers chose to change the face model to actor Ben Jordan for the remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PS5, and he remained the face of the character for the sequel.

The developers noted that Jordan was better suited to voice actor Yuri Lowenthal’s vocal and motion capture performance. However, players were still unhappy with the change. This mod allows users to play through Spider-Man 2 as if John Bubniak was still the face model, which will appeal to those who weren’t fans of the recast.

Over The Shoulder Camera
Created by okangel
Camera angles in video games can make all the difference when it comes to immersion levels. This mod does this in a subtle yet effective way, as it moves the camera closer to Spidey and offers a more over-the-shoulder look.
The mod moves the camera a little to the right, which might not seem like a major change, but the closeness that it creates makes for a more immersive experience. The mod changes the look of the game with this small camera alteration, which is sure to interest gamers who want a more cinematic look as they play.

Parkour Overhaul
Created by gunsracc
One of the most popular elements of Marvel’s Spider-Man games is the world traversal system via Spidey’s parkour. Although there is a lot to enjoy about it, the moves can get a bit samey over time, as they tend to be used over and over again. This mod changes that by adding alternate animations to offer a bit more variation.
The Parkour Overhaul mod not only uses different animations as the player swings through the city, but it also offers the option to replace Peter’s vault animation with one of the five other vault animations from Peter and Miles. For those looking to change up the parkour, this is the perfect mod.

Raining Night Atmosphere
Created by Jaybubbaloo
Last but not least is another environmental mod that changes up the usual weather to a rainy night, adding a certain dark and brooding atmosphere.
This mod is a must for those who enjoy the oddly comforting atmosphere that rain and bad weather can bring. It is also a great choice for those who want something a little different as they parkour through New York as Spider-Man. The sunshine is nice and all, but we all need a little bit of darkness from time to time.
