PlayStation Showcase: Spider-Man 2 leads PS5’s 2023 games lineup

Sony announces a portable streaming device for PS5 that lets players play games over wifi

Sony concluded its livestreamed PlayStation Showcase event on Wednesday with a 12-minute-long slice of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man 2, PlayStation 5's major game for 2023. It showed the heroes of the previous two games, Miles Morales and a symbiote-suited Spider-Man, working together to fight villains Kraven and the Lizard across an extensive swathe of New York scenery.

The game will be out this autumn, joined by Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage on 12 October, the latest in a long-running series of historical action games. Epic Games' Alan Wake 2, a sequel to 2010's Stephen King-inspired horror game, was also confirmed for 17 October.
