The best Marvel's Spider-Man mods for the Remastered PC version of the game can either polish an already-polished game, or change it drastically to become something completely surreal. You ever played as the Kingpin, or as comics legend Stan Lee? Now you can! There's no shortage of options open to those playing on their computer, assuming they're willing to go the extra mile in changing these options. Obviously modding games isn't without risks, and as ever be careful of how you modify your game and computer, but if you're happy to take the plunge then we've sourced the best Marvel's Spider-Man PC mods for you to try at home!
Preview the next game with the Symbiote Black Suit mod
The game may have only recently landed on PC, but some players are already looking ahead to what we could see in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The Symbiote Black Suit mod is the most endorsed download at the time of writing, and swaps the Advanced Suit texture from the Spider-Man Remastered suits for one resembling the Symbiote Black Suit that we're likely to see in the sequel game. As a little extra, this mod also swaps the original outfits worn by Peter Parker with a suit and tie, for some added smartness.
Just be yourself with the Peter Parker mod
If you want to completely throw your secret identify out of the window, then the slightly unfortunately-named Peter-Man mod does just that by letting you run around the open world as Peter Parker. Be aware that the effects of this mod aren't permanent, so if you change suit at any point then you can't return to being Peter unless you reinstall the file.
Start an early spin-off using the Miles Morales mod
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the spin-off and follow up to the original game, is due to hit PC sometime in the Fall but thanks to the Miles Morales (Red Hoodie Variant) mod you can hit the streets with him right now. Creator tiffsomniac notes that there are currently a few issues with this mod, and although you can webswing, throw objects, and perform certain takedowns, melee combat is unusable as things stand.
Go from cameo to main character with the Stan Lee mod
'The Man' himself made numerous cameo appearances over the years, and even features briefly in this game as a Short Order Cook during a restaurant cutscene between Peter and MJ, but with the Stan Lee full mod you can elevate him to an excelsior starring role. You'll need to use the SMPCTool detailed further down to complete the installation process, but the additional animations should give this character swap a more natural look.
Switch sides using the Kingpin mod
Let's face it, Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin is definitely a character built for strength rather than speed, but with the Kingpin mod you can inhabit the crime lord's bulky frame and take him for a swing around town. This is another mod that requires the SMPCTool below, so make sure you follow the instructions carefully for a correct installation.
Create and install mods with the Spider-Man PC Modding Tool
Whether you're looking to install certain mods or create your own, the Spider-Man PC Modding Tool by jedijosh920 is a must-have addition to your game. You can use it to extract and replace any of the assets from the game's archives, allowing anyone to swap items around and experiment as well as providing a centralised mod filing system to quickly install the work of others.
Improve visuals with the Photorealistic Movie Graphics mod
If you feel like the game is looking a little flat, then you can spruce things up with the Photorealistic Movie Graphics mod by Reshade Guy. The creator claims that the reshades provided by this mod will recreate the cinematic look of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies without affecting the performance of the game, and the side by side before and after shots certainly look impressive.
Get a more immersive experience using the No HUD mod
We all know that HUDs provide useful information, but sometimes if you're trying create an immersive cinematic experience then having those details on screen can take you out of the moment. By installing the No HUD mod you have the option to toggle it on and off using the Caps Lock key, and as well as losing the HUD during fights it also gets rid of the white outline around enemies.
Start the game faster with the Remove Intro mod
If you're trying out or debugging various mods, then you don't want to have to sit through the unskippable Insomniac Games/Marvel intro every time you boot the game. That's where the Remove Introduction Start-Up Video mod comes in, swapping the usual intro for a one second video so you can jump straight into the main menu without delay. This mod also relies on the SMPCTool, so make sure you have that installed and follow the instructions carefully.
