50 free Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Marvel's Spider-Man was Insomniac Games' first licensed title in 22 years, and it became the fastest-selling first-party game Sony had ever released. Set in its own Earth-1048, it gave players a 23-year-old Peter Parker eight years into the job, a white-spider suit built like compression wear, and a web-swinging system grown out of Sunset Overdrive. These 50 questions cover the story and the making of the game: Mister Negative and the Inner Demons, Devil's Breath, Otto Octavius's slide into Doctor Octopus, the Raft breakout and the Sinister Six, Aunt May's fate and Miles Morales's spider bite, plus the behind-the-scenes facts: the Sony executive who pitched Marvel to Ted Price, the E3 2016 reveal, the 800-tile map of Manhattan, Yuri Lowenthal's two voices, John Paesano's score, the puddle controversy, Stan Lee's cameo, the three City That Never Sleeps episodes, the PS5 remaster's new Peter face, the Across the Spider-Verse cameo and the Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2 sequels. Easy questions stick to the hero, the console and the villains; the hard ones ask about tokens, tile sizes, polygon counts and Japanese sales. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a gaming quiz night.
