There seems to be a lot of confusion in the PlayStation community, but for those who recently picked up a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PA5 bundle and have been trying to redeem the code without success, you’ll want to know it won’t work until launch.
If you’ve opened your new PS5 Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle and wanted to get a head start by downloading the game early via the provided voucher, we have bad news for you as the code won’t be available to use until October 20. This is listed on the voucher and the Console’s Limited Edition website, though we’d understand if you missed it, as it is in small print compared to the rest of the text.
“*Account for PlayStation Network and internet connection required to redeem voucher. Redeem code when game is available on October 20, 2023.”
What this essentially means is that you won’t be able to start downloading Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 until the day of the official release. It sucks, but to our understanding, it’s because the code works similarly to a review code, granting instant access to the game rather than a pre-order. So it’s understandable why PlayStation has locked the codes for redemption to be on launch day, though hopefully, no other issues arise. Till then, you’ll just have to keep that code somewhere safe.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be available exclusively on the PS5 on October 20, 2023.

I kinda figured as much, as the PlayStation store won’t recognize the voucher code. Pretty lame actually, considering Spiderman 2 is already available for digital pre-loading.
but do you still receive the pre order items
According to the PS Blog, yes.
“For players purchasing the full PS5 bundle, the included game voucher can be redeemed when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases on October 20. Players who purchase the bundle that has a voucher for the digital Standard Edition of the game will also get the same pre-order incentive items available to those who pre-order Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – an early unlock Arachknight Suit for Peter with 3 additional color variants, an early unlock Shadow Spider Suit for Miles with 3 additional color variants, an early unlock Web Grabber gadget, and 3 skill points.”

So is it a time zone thing? Because the game is supposed to release 11pm the 19th where I am but will I still have to wait until the 20th?
You can try at that time, otherwise yeah
What do we do if we lost our redeem code that came with the limited edition spider man ps5? How can we obtain the code?
Yes I would also like to know as I also have his issue
