Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 officially launched today, and while many are enjoying the latest adventure from Insomniac Games, there seems to be a good amount of physical disc owners who have unfortunately run into issues with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 disc installations on their console.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 Disc Installation Issue:
Taking a look at the SpidermanPS5 subreddit, multiple physical buyers who picked up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 have reported a rather nasty issue where the game isn’t installing. The PS5 can recognize the disc and even start to download and install its data, but right around 36% it seems to be getting stuck, as reported by countless users on the thread.
Many have suggested several troubleshooting processes, including rebuilding the PS5 database and even installing the disc offline, but to no avail, no one has discovered a workaround at the time of this writing.
It seems that PlayStation and Insomniac Games have to issue a patch, though we’re unsure if that will solve it as it seems to possibly be a bad batch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 discs. PlayStation and Insomniac Games have yet to address the issue, though given the amount of reports, we’re sure they’re aware of it. Hopefully, it’s an easy fix; otherwise, those affected may have to go back to their local store to return the game for a replacement disc. Pray if you do that, you’ll have better luck with the new one.
We’ll continue to monitor the situation, and should any development arise, we’ll let you know.

I don’t have this problem, but you can pause and unpause downloads and the download progress will continue where it left off after you unpause it. This makeshift trouble shooting technique is oftentimes used for better download times by pausing and unpausing the download.
Usually by roughly 36% the system has found any corrupt data, the download is probably corrupt and you would need to manually delete the game data from save data utility. Just deleting the game and re downloading isn’t doing anything, because the save data still exist in save data utility until manually deleted
Safe Mode check and rebuild database always says the hdd is corrupt, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is because it’s a default message and always says the hdd is corrupt.
If physical copies are getting stuck at roughly 36% then i’d assume the download is most likely corrupt, as for why im not really sure.
