When Spider-Man 2 first came to PC in February, fans were quick to notice that this port was not of the same quality as Spider-Man or its Miles Morales standalone spin-off. Despite that, the game launched with a Steam Deck Verified rating – which has now been revoked.
Spider-Man 2 is no longer ‘Steam Deck Verified'. The game is now marked as ‘playable' on the Steam Store, which is a much more accurate descriptor for a game that just barely functions on the limited handheld hardware.
The Playable rating for Steam Deck games means that the game can run, but the default settings might not be appropriate, requiring some manual tinkering on the user's part to get it running well. The Playable tag can also be applied to games that may have UI issues or require other manual inputs, like pressing the Steam button + X in order to access the virtual keyboard.
In the case of Spider-Man 2 though, it is definitely a case of the game simply not running very well on Steam Deck with the default graphics preset. With some tinkering, users can expect to reach a 30FPS experience, but it will wobble at points.

KitGuru Says: Spider-Man 2 was a fun game but nowhere near as memorable as the first one in my opinion. Have you played Spider-Man 2 since its PC launch? Have you tried it on Steam Deck?
