Does Spiderman Remastered PS5 Come With DLC?

The short answer is yes, absolutely! Spiderman Remastered on PlayStation 5 bundles in all of the previously released DLC from the original PS4 game. That includes new story chapters, missions, crimes, challenges, suits, and more.

As a hardcore PlayStation gamer and Spiderman enthusiast myself, I can definitively say the DLC content is extremely worthwhile. Read on for a detailed overview of exactly what extra content is included, why it‘s so essential for fans to experience, and other key insights PlayStation owners need to know.

What DLC is Included in Spiderman Remastered?

Spiderman Remastered on PS5 contains the full "The City That Never Sleeps" DLC storyline made up of 3 chapters:

  • The Heist: New storyline starring Black Cat, with new missions, crimes, challenges and 4 unlockable suits
  • Turf Wars: Story chapter featuring Hammerhead, with additional content and 3 new suits
  • Silver Lining: Conclusion with Silver Sable, adding more missions, crimes and 2 suits

That‘s over 9 additional in-game suits spanning Spiderman‘s comic history, including fan favorites like the manga-inspired Spider Clan Suit.

Across all 3 DLC chapters you‘re getting a significant amount of new story content, missions, crimes, challenges, trophies, and characters – well over $30 value if purchased individually.

Full List of Suits Added in The City That Never Sleeps DLC

Here‘s a breakdown of all the unique suits unlocked in the various DLC chapters:

DLC ChapterNew Suits
The HeistSpider Clan Suit, Scarlet Spider II, Resilient Suit, Twisted Suit
Turf WarsInto the Spider-Verse Suit, Arachnid Rider Suit, Spider-UK Suit
Silver LiningAaron Aikman Armor, Armored Advanced Suit

As a self-proclaimed fashionista when it comes to Spiderman suits, standouts for me are the anime-inspired Spider Clan suit and the super slick Into the Spider-Verse outfit.

But honestly, Insomniac did an amazing job with all the DLC suits – they perfectly capture different eras and interpretations of Spiderman while looking incredible running around NYC.

Why is the DLC Storyline Essential?

Beyond the new missions and unlockables, the most valuable aspect of the DLC is the continuation of Insomniac‘s Spiderman story after the main game.

The City That Never Sleeps takes place shortly after Spiderman‘s battle with Dr. Octavius. It advances core storylines, introduces new villains, and sets the stage for future games.

In particular, the DLC story leads directly into events referenced at the start of Spiderman: Miles Morales:

  • We see the beginnings of Miles‘ training with Peter
  • Black Cat and Hammerhead emerge as recurring baddies
  • Wraith is introduced as a key character

So for fans invested in the web-slinging series, the DLC really is essential interconnecting content. I definitely felt more emotionally attached to Miles Morales having that extra backstory action with Pete.

Plus, the additional missions are just great classic Spiderman content in their own right. Clever writing, fun challenges tailored to Spidey‘s abilities, and scenes we don‘t see in the main story.

DLC Gameplay, Playtime, and More

In my first outing, it took me around 15 hours to fully complete The City That Never Sleeps DLC chapters along with all side content. This will vary greatly per player, but expect at least 8-12 hours if you focus on core missions.

Compared to the roughly 20 hour main storyline, that‘s a sizable chunk of extra story and gameplay – almost half as much content again.

The DLC introduces some great new mission designs too. Without spoiling anything, highlights include chases across rooftops, intense indoor combat spaces, and imaginative uses of Spiderman‘s abilities.

My favorite aspect is how Insomniac doubles down on stealth gameplay. Combined with Black Cat and Wraith‘s abilities, missions evoke a fuller ‘infiltrator‘ fantasy akin to playing as Batman.

Across IGN, GameSpot and Metacritic, The CIty That Never Sleeps scores an impressive 8.3 out of 10 average rating. Critics praised the story expansions for adding "meaningful, compelling and downright fun content" (IGN).

So in summary – from additional gameplay longevity to narrative continuity and rave reviews – the DLC chapters add tremendous value on top of an already spectacular base game.

Spiderman Remastered vs Original PS4 vs PS5 Miles Morales

To put the DLC inclusion in context, here‘s a quick comparison between the different available versions:

Original PS4 ReleasePS5 RemasteredPS5 Miles Morales
The City That Never Sleeps DLCPaid Extra✅ Included❌ Not Included
Graphics/Performance1080p/30fps4K/60fps4K/60fps + Ray Tracing
Dualsense Features✅ Haptics & Triggers✅ Haptics & Triggers

The PS5 Remaster represents an excellent value with boosted visuals, silky gameplay and the full DLC package included.

Miles Morales offers similar next-gen enhancements, but no DLC. So it comes down to wanting the complete supplementary story or the newest self-contained adventure.

Either way, take it from me – true believers shouldn‘t hesitate to once again don the mask on PS5, especially with the extra content bundled in!

The City That Never Sleeps: Worth it For Spiderman Fans

As both a lifetime fan who has completed every Spiderman game to 100% AND an avid gamer immersed in industry news, trends and critique…

I can definitively say The City That Never Sleeps DLC chapters are a must-play addition for followers of Insomniac‘s spectacular series.

The extra missions expand on core story beats, develop key characters, introduce awesome new suits and villains, provide hours of classic Spidey gameplay – and do so at an incredibly high level matching the base game‘s quality.

For the relatively low cost of entry with Spiderman Remastered, it‘s the best way to experience this award-winning adventure along with substantial post-launch content.

So for Spiderman lovers yet to play the DLC or considering double dipping on PS5, the inclusion alone makes it the definitive release. Together with next-gen enhancements the Remastered edition is hard to pass up!
