We've just had Indiana Jones and the Great Circle get Steam Deck Verified after an update, and now it's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 that's also seen a game upgrade and Valve bumping the rating to Steam Deck Verified.

The latest update to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was released today, May 9th. In the announcement the developers noted: "This patch includes various performance optimizations and stability improvements based on player feedback. We've implemented several rendering optimizations to enhance performance on Steam Deck. Additionally, we've updated the default preset and enabled Dynamic Resolution Scaling for more stable performance when using the default settings on Steam Deck".

Changelog:

Release Notes (1.508.0.0)

  • Various performance optimizations related to Steam Deck.
  • Updated the default preset for Steam Deck to improve performance.
  • Performance optimizations for Venom and Symbiotes sections when Level of Detail is set to Medium or lower.
  • Updated DirectStorage to version 1.2.4.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented players from selecting certain items from the Legend menu on the map when using a mouse.
  • Various stability improvements.

Awesome. I haven't gotten around to it yet but it's on my list, big fan of the first game in the series. Wonderful to see patience pay off again to get the best form of it. Really good to see such big games do direct Steam Deck support like this.
