# Marvel's Spider-Man 2 — PS5 emulator

Stable open-world verification. High VRAM use downtown; warm the traversal cache first.

## Facts (2026-10-13)

- **Rating:** Stable
- **Watch item:** VRAM pressure in dense districts
- **Firmware:** Official PS5UPDATE.PUP required
- **Library:** Own your copy; 400+ titles indexed

## Verification result

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is rated Stable. Story missions and open-world traversal complete, with frame-time dips in the densest districts on 8 GB cards. Read [GPU and VRAM](/hardware/gpu-vram) before raising resolution.

Swing a fixed route through downtown twice before judging performance — the second pass reflects the warmed [Shader cache](/reference/shader-cache), the first does not.

## Recommended settings

- Quality preset first; raise resolution only after the cache warms.

- Cap the frame rate to the display to keep traversal pacing stable.

- If stutter persists downtown, lower crowd density before touching resolution.

## Setup sequence

1. [Download Meridian](/download), then confirm the Vulkan check in [Vulkan check](/reference/vulkan-check).

2. Install the official PS5UPDATE.PUP from Sony's system-software page with File then Install Firmware.

3. Index your owned dump per [Index your library](/protocol/index-your-library). Own your library — no bundled copies.

## FAQ

### Can Meridian run Spider-Man 2?

Yes. It is Stable: fully traversable with dips in dense districts. Warm the shader cache and check VRAM headroom first.

### Why does downtown stutter first?

New pipelines compile on first sight. Repeat the route; persistent dips point to VRAM, covered in [GPU and VRAM](/hardware/gpu-vram).

### Which mode verifies best?

The quality preset at native resolution, frame-capped. Raise settings only after two clean traversal passes.
