Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an incredibly popular game that has captured the hearts of gamers around the world. However, like any game, it can sometimes encounter issues that prevent it from starting or opening on the PlayStation 5. If you're experiencing this problem, don't fret! In this blog post, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to fix Marvel's Spider-Man 2 not starting on your PlayStation 5. By following these friendly steps, you'll be able to get back into the swing of things with Spidey in no time!

The first step in resolving any issues with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 not starting is to ensure that the game is up to date. To do this, head over to the PS5 Store and check for any updates available for Spider-Man 2. Developers often release patches and updates to address bugs and improve performance, so updating the game might resolve any issues preventing it from starting.

In addition to updating the game, it's also important to make sure that your PlayStation 5 console is running the latest system software. To check for updates, go to the PS5 Settings and select "System." If there is a new system software update available, you will see an option that says "Update Available." Click on it and let the update install. This update may include fixes and improvements that could resolve any compatibility issues causing Spider-Man 2 not to start.

If updating the game and the console didn't solve the problem, the next step is to rebuild your PS5 database. This process can help resolve any underlying issues that may be preventing Spider-Man 2 from starting. Follow these steps to rebuild your PS5 database:

While in Safe Mode, you'll need to connect your controller to the PS5 using a USB cable. This will allow you to navigate through the Safe Mode menu and perform the necessary steps to fix the issue.

To enter Safe Mode, press the PS button on your controller. This will bring up the Safe Mode menu on your TV screen.

In the Safe Mode menu, navigate to the "Clear Cache and Rebuild Database" option. This option will clear any temporary files or corrupted data that may be causing issues with Spider-Man 2.

Once you've selected the "Clear Cache and Rebuild Database" option, your PS5 will begin the process of rebuilding its database. This process may take some time, depending on the amount of data stored on your console, so be patient and allow it to complete.

Once the database rebuild is complete, you can restart your PS5 normally. This will exit Safe Mode and allow you to start Marvel's Spider-Man 2 as you normally would.
