Spider-Man is a great property to have at your disposal. Sony itself knows this, as it has the rights to his movies and video games. However, things could have turned out very differently in the latter’s department. According to

Ong stated that Marvel was not happy with the quality of Activision’s Spider-Man games towards the end of their partnership. When Ong told Activision, “I’m going to find a better home for it,” the company responded with, “Good luck finding your unicorn,” which would prove to be a terrible choice of words.

Marvel Games then approached both Xbox and PlayStation for a Spider-Man collaboration. Xbox rejected the offer, stating it wanted to focus on its own IP. So Ong met with PlayStation, saying, “We have a dream that this is possible, that we could beat Arkham and have one game at least and maybe multiple games that could drive adoption of your platform.” PlayStation offered to do an exclusive Spider-Man game with Marvel and tasked Insomniac with developing it. The deal paid off, as Marvel’s Spider-Man sold more than 20 million copies, while the spin-off Miles Morales has sold 6.5 million. Now, a sequel is set to hit PlayStation 5 in 2023, and Insomniac is creating a Wolverine game as well.

I bet Microsoft is kicking itself right now. This just goes to show there are big ramifications in the video game industry for passing up a project. The so-called console wars would be quite different today if Xbox took that deal.

Including Spider-Man as part of Marvel’s Midnight Suns was “no problem”, even on the Xbox version, according to the game’s creative director.

In an upcoming interview with VGC, Firaxis’ Jake Solomon claimed that despite third-party title Marvel’s Avengers only featuring Spider-Man on PlayStation consoles, his inclusion in the Xbox version of the upcoming strategy RPG wasn’t an issue.

“He’ll be on Xbox, there’s no problem with that,” Solomon said. “It’s fun being the first game that’s doing that for a while. Spidey was always a character on the roster and we never got any pushback in any form from Marvel.”

Solomon went on to explain that the game’s initial setting also had a huge influence on the need to include Spider-Man, as well as his trademark humour.

“We’re a New York story, our early game is a New York story,” he said. “I’m also a big believer in the idea that the darker the overall story, the lighter you have to be when you tell jokes. You can’t take yourself so seriously.

“I love dark storylines, but you’ve got to add jokes, so Spidey was on the very first list of characters and Marvel was like ‘great’, I never had any inkling that Spidey would be a problem.”

Spider-Man’s last appearance on Xbox was in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. A Spider-Man was released for Fortnite on all platforms, but playing as the character himself has been something that Xbox fans have been missing out on for some time.

Following the news that Spider-Man would be exclusive to PlayStation as a downloadable character in Marvel’s Avengers, it was speculated that the terms of Sony‘s agreement to use the character in video games may have precluded his inclusion on Xbox. He has previously appeared on Nintendo Switch in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.

Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Insomniac‘s pair of superhero games, will also voice the character in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, it’s been confirmed.

Solomon confirmed to VGC that Lowenthal will take up the mantle of Peter Parker once again for the new tactical deck-building game, despite the game taking part in a separate universe from Insomniac’s games.

“It’s not meant to be that Spidey, but we heard that Spidey and said ‘that sounds like Peter Parker to me’, but it’s not the exact same character,” Solomon explained.

Will Xbox ever get Spider

It seems unlikely we'll ever get a new Spider-Man game on Xbox outside of team up games like this, but Xbox seems to want to take wins wherever it can get them when it comes to Marvel heroes.

Will Spider

Saints Row, Spider-Man Remastered, More: August 2022 Games for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X.

Will Spider

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is not coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one on August 12. The likelihood of the game ever coming to Xbox Game Pass are extremely slim too.

Why is the new Spider

Apparently, Activision and Marvel had prematurely ended their Spider-Man game deal because neither party was satisfied with Activision's licensed games. Marvel had previously signed on with Activision to develop the Spider-Man games, along with a bunch of other titles around different members of the Avengers.
