Watching the gameplay for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 made me understand why it was in the running for GoTY. The graphics are insane (and can change style based on which skin you choose???), the voice acting is flawless, and the combat looks fun. If you’re a fan of this game or want to buy for a gamer, keep reading through my guide for Spidey-themed gift inspiration!
Just walking past the T.V. while my boyfriend swung through the city let me see why this game is celebrated for its stunning visuals. If you loved the artwork in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, this deluxe edition art book would be fascinating. It would be perfect for graphic designers, art majors, or anyone interested in animation.
The art book will get shipped to you on June 4th, because currently it’s available for preorder. It will give an in-depth look at character design, locations, and comments from the creative team. I like giving people hardcover books like this one. Hardcover always feels better than paperback.
Key Facts
- Average Price – $90-$110
- Pre Order Release Date – June 4, 2024
This Spider-Man poster is a great gift idea if you’re working with a tight budget. I like that it’s large, has impressive artwork, and showcases heroes and villains alike. Peter and Miles are both activating their web shooters, though Peter’s arm is overtaken by a sticky symbiote. Kraven, Lizard, and Venom are featured, too.

Fans of Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse are thrilled that you can play as Miles Morales in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. What better gift can you get for a fan than a Miles action figure showcasing his design from the game? The 6” figure is officially licensed from the Marvel Store, so you can consider it a collector’s item. 7 accessories are included (and you even get Spider-Cat!)

This one is for my veteran Spider-Man fans. If you’re buying for an adult who’s loved gaming for a long time, they might appreciate this PlayStation 1-inspired game case. Seeing Peter and Miles in an older art style gives them a believable (and nostalgic) PS1 look. I have friends who collect game cases, so I’m saving this idea for them.

I know this poster is more expensive than the one I listed above, but come on. This poster showing Peter and Miles fighting Venom in midair is awesome. Oh, and that’s only design one. PrintoramaPoster has 8 different designs all centered around Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s worth mentioning these posters are framed.

Oh, no! Your iPhone has been overtaken by a symbiote! Peter Parker feels your pain. On this Spider-Man iPhone case, Peter’s suit is becoming enwrapped in dark tendrils of an all-consuming symbiote. With Venom and symbiotes being hugely important in this game, I love this design.

Okay, this Spider-Man sweatshirt isn’t exclusively for fans of the game. It’s a vintage style shirt with Spider-Man quotes in red. Comic book themed pictures show Spidey slinging into action, logos, webs, etc. While the design on the back is very creative, I love the simplicity of the front of the shirt. Among a huge range of sizes, you get 5 colors to choose from:
- Black
- White
- Dark Gray Heather
- Light Gray Heather
- Pink

This is an awesome gift for Spider-Man fans who collect controllers. On the bottom, the controller stand looks like Venom’s open jaws with the Spider-Man logo inside. The sides showcase dark wisps of symbiotes. I give the controller stand props for:
- Eye-catching design
- Functionality
- Made by an independent artist

The gift and curse of the Spider-Man 2 DualSense controller is that it’s limited. You can still buy this controller on ebay, but it’s very difficult to find anywhere else. The link I have takes you to all the listings for the Spider-Man 2 DualSense controller on ebay, so your best bet is to bid on one from there. I encourage die-hard Spider-Man fans to go for it, but be aware that you might be dropping $150+ for one of these.
