A popular glitch inSpider-Man: Miles Moralesmight find its way intoSpider-Man:Into the Spider-Verse 2, if a tweet shared bySpider-Verse 2co-producer Phil Lord is any indication. This means viewers may see inanimate objects gain web-swinging powers similar toSpider-Man: Miles Moralesfor the first time on-screen.
Miles Moralesis one of the flagship launch titles for the PlayStation 5, and it features animpressive array of graphical enhancementswhen played on PS5, such as the option to choose either native 4K or 60 FPS output. However, these flourishes are occasionally hindered by a bug that causes Miles Morales to turn into random objects as he swings his way through New York. Streamers have found themselves fighting crime as bricks, crates, sheets of ice, and more. Given its absurdity, fans have come to appreciate the bug rather than hoping for its removal.

Lord, one of the key figures behind the firstSpider-Versefilm, retweeted a gameplay clip of Miles turning into a patio heater. In the tweet, he saidSpider-Verse 2should find a way to include the glitch in some form. Whether this was referring to the patio heater in particular or theentire range of objects Miles can transform intois unclear. Given the film will release in early 2022, it may take some time until fans find out.
Lord’s willingness to reference this bug is a promising sign forInto the Spider-Verse 2, showing the production team’s willingness to lean into the stranger aspects of Spider-Man’s history. Although many fans had hoped thatSpider-Man: Miles Moraleswould teasefuture games featuring the entire Spider-Verse cast, nothing like this appears in the game. The next best thing for fans may be having theMiles Moralesgame referenced inSpider-Verse 2, whether through the glitch or through something more substantial.
There are plenty of details fromSpider-Man: Miles Moralesthat could be fit for inclusion in futureSpider-Versefilms. The game is filled with small details thatflesh out Miles' relationship with the Marvel Comics worldaround him, and it would be great to see those details explored in more detail. As future games in the series will likely feature Peter Parker as the protagonist, film representation would be a stellar way to keep a focus on this universe’s Miles Morales.
As good as it is to see players having fun with the glitch, not every bug in the game is so innocuous. Another glitch results inMiles stripping down to his civilian clothes, and this is a game-breaking bug that completely blocks all further progress. As many new PS5 owners will play this as their first next-gen titles, it’s important to make a good first impression, and hopefully Insomniac Games can patch the game’s issues quickly. Some players might not mind if the team decided to let Miles still turn into a patio heater after future patches, though.
Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis now available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
