Marvel’s Avengers has been oddly quiet in regard to hype, but now that its betas are on the horizon everyone has suddenly become stoked for this superhero RPG. While there have been assurances from some platforms that it’s not the Destiny clone certain people fear, Xbox One and PC fans have been asking the following question: is Spider-Man coming to the Avengers game for Xbox One and PC? Here you’ll discover why the web-head is a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
Aside from just participating in the Marvel’s Avengers beta to try the game out before its eventual launch in September, another reason to play one of the free upcoming demos is to get the Hulk Smashers Pickaxe in Fortnite. The pre-order beta is coming for PS4 only this August 7th, but there will be a version for Sony loyalists next weekend, and there will also be a closed and open demo for other systems.
However, away from its many available betas throughout this month, here you’ll discover whether Spider-Man is coming to the game for Xbox One and PC.

Is Spider-Man a timed exclusive for the Avengers game on PS4?
No, Spider-Man has not been announced as a timed exclusive for the Avengers game on PS4.
Rather than a timed exclusive, Spider-Man has simply been announced as a PS4 exclusive which means it’s highly unlikely he’ll ever come to Xbox One, Series X, and PC.
This will be disappointing for many people and it is a shame that arguably Marvel’s Mickey Mouse is only available on one system.
Although the likes of Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man are all classic characters made fan-favourites because of the MCU, Spider-Man has always been Marvel’s most recognisable superhero.
The web-head is to Marvel what Batman is to DC, and it’s a shame that he’s not coming to Xbox One and PC.
Why isn’t Spider-Man coming to the Avengers game on Xbox One and PC?
Spider-Man is not coming to the Avengers game on Xbox One and PC because of the relationship between Sony and Marvel.
Sony has movie rights to the Spider-Man character, and this is why he is not coming to Xbox One and PC for the Avengers game, as well as why Insomniac’s adaptation is a PS4 exclusive.
Speaking to IGN Japan, Crystal Dynamics’ studio head, Scott Amos, said that the web-head will be the only platform exclusive character.
He also reiterated that Marvel’s Avengers has a lot of playable heroes so the absence of Spider-Man shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
While the above suggestion could ruffle some Xbox One and PC feathers, so too could Amos’ retort in which he said that “those who absolutely want to play as Spider-Man have the option to do so on PlayStation”.

It may have only launched recently but players are already keen to learn about upcoming Marvel's Avengers game DLC. Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Kate Bishop have all been confirmed as post-launch characters coming to the Marvel's Avengers game, plus there have been some more leaks on top of those. Here is everything we know about upcoming Marvel's Avengers game DLC.
Avengers game Spider-Man DLC
Let's start with everyone's favourite web-slinger, Spider-Man. Peter Parker was one of the first post-launch characters to be revealed by Square Enix, but there's bad news for anyone playing on PC or Xbox One; Spider-Man is a PS4 exclusive. The good news is he's free!
Spider-Man will be coming to PlayStation players in early 2021, but it's important to distinguish between this version of Spider-Man in Marvel's Avengers, and the standalone Spider-Man game from Insomniac Games. The two aren't connected in any way, so expect this Spider-Man to have his own unique abilities and powers.
Avengers game Hawkeye DLC (Clint Barton & Kate Bishop)
Two versions of Hawkeye, Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, will be the first two characters added to Marvel's Avengers post-launch. We know that Bishop will be arriving in-game in late October through a story event called 'Taking Aim'. Barton on the other hand will come in November, in the second half of the narrative.
In the Kate Bishop reveal trailer, Tony Stark asks if she's working for SHIELD now, and whereabouts Clint is. She replies saying 'it's complicated, and that's complicated too'. The pair were investigating what happened to Nick Fury after A-Day and they stumbled upon the Tachyon Project, which is when Clint also disappeared. It then cuts to Clint seemingly having agreed a deal with Monica Rappacini, one of the game's main villains. Ominous.
Avengers Black Panther DLC
The fourth and final character that has been confirmed by Square Enix to be coming to Marvel's Avengers DLC is Black Panther. We don't know when he'll be coming — after Clint Barton is our guess — but we do know that he's definitely coming at some point. In a launch week War Table presentation, Square Enix paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, explaining that they were going to show off the character but instead decide to postpone it. Absolutely the right decision and we can't wait to play as T'Challa later down the line.
Avengers DLC: Leaked characters
In a now-deleted Reddit post, one user dug up a list of future playable characters from the beta (thanks, Eurogamer). The full list of unconfirmed characters is below:
- Ant-Man
- Captain Marvel
- Doctor Strange
- Falcon
- Hulkbuster
- Mar-Vell
- Mockingbird
- Quake
- Scarlet Witch
- She-Hulk
- Vision
- War Machine
- Wasp
- Winter Soldier

Don't take this list as gospel since ideas and features get cut from games frequently, but we at least know these are in contention.
