Earlier this year, we found evidence of a possible connectivity feature between the PlayStation Network and the PC versions of Sony‘s games. The alleged data was found in a Spider-Man game, but as months passed, no confirmation or announcement backed up this theory.
Today, the service has been made official, and guess what? The first game that allows players to do this is Marvel’s Spider-Man, which today received a patch that added the feature.
Link your Steam and PlayStation Network accounts today to get early unlocks and Skill Points in #SpiderManPC!

Here is the official statement for the new connectivity feature via Steam:
Today we are releasing a patch for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered with a focus on performance improvements, several new features, and bug fixes.
We identified a performance degradation issue that could occur on some hardware configurations when raytracing is enabled. This was caused by allocation contention between ray tracing job threads, which could result in stuttering after playing the game for a while. We have implemented changes to prevent this from happening. Our thanks go out to the players that helped us identify the issue by providing logs and captures!
Intel XeSS is now available in the Display Settings menu. This temporal upscaling technology can be used to improve performance and works with Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs. We have also updated AMD FSR to version 2.1.1 and will be adding NVIDIA DLSS 3 in a future patch soon. We also changed the video memory budgets to allow the game to use more VRAM.
This update also adds the option to link your Steam and PlayStation Network accounts. Doing so in this game gives you access to the Resilient Suit and Concussive Blast Gadget, and you'll be granted two skill points. You will also receive the latest news, updates, and offers from PlayStation Studios games on PC or PlayStation platforms. Account linking is optional, and access to the unlocked items is only available while the accounts are linked. If you have already unlocked the items and have acquired the maximum number of skill points, you will not unlock any extras.
Furthermore, this patch contains changes to improve the visual quality of ray-traced reflections and visual fixes for certain cinematics when viewed in 32:9 aspect ratio. This update also addresses a bug that could cause crashes when entering minigames on some hardware configurations.
