Spider-Man 2, the PlayStation 5 exclusive, has left critics and the social media audience captivated with its impressive and speedy fast-travel system. The feature enables players to select any location on the New York map and reach it within seconds after unlocking fast travel. The fast-travel feature has become a significant talking point ahead of the game's October 20 release date. Some speculated that the hold-to-confirm requirement before launching fast travel masked loading time. However, Insomniac's director of core technology, Mike Fitzgerald, clarified that the hold-to-confirm feature was introduced for player usability to prevent accidental fast travel due to a single button press and doesn't hide any loading time. The feature could be removed, suggesting that the game's fast-travel system is profoundly swift. The social team at IGN reported that it takes just over a second to travel across the map. Fitzgerald encouraged the players to confirm this by attempting to cancel it when they are playing.

Despite these discussions, the hold-to-confirm feature remains as it deemed crucial for player usability and more important than earning Internet credibility points. Meanwhile, Spider-Man 2 physical release players are urged to install the patch 1.001.002 for the best gaming experience, even though they can play the game without downloading the Day 1 patch. Despite the hype, the game has received mixed reviews, with some critics pointing to an exhaustive and repetitive checklist of side activities. However, the enhanced combat and web-swinging skills provided a new thrill for players.
