PlayStation 5 is all set for a possible Holiday 2020 launch. There is still no word on the pricing aspect but Sony has been teasing the fans with everything coming to its next-gen console. Recently, Sony revealed the box art for PS5 titles by showing off the cover of ‘Spiderman Miles Morales.’ Take a look: [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-9-560x315.jpg] PLAYSTATION 5 EXCLUSIVES TO BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER PLATFORMS? PS5’s box art [https://blog.playstation.com/2020/07/09/first-look-box-art-for-upcoming-ps5-games/] will have more white than blue from the looks of it. A lot of people spotted something rather interesting; Sony decided to unveil the box for one of their upcoming exclusives i.e. Spiderman. For every exclusive title, the PS4 box had the words ‘Only On PlayStation’ written on it. The PS5 title’s box does not have that. Could this be a hit towards Spiderman being available for other platforms, too? Of course, it is highly unlikely that it will be available for Xbox, but it could be available for PC and maybe even Switch. Or to everyone’s dismay, it could just be Sony’s decision to not put those words on the cover anymore. But we’ll choose to believe in the former anyway. The box art looks clean but one fan suggested that it should come in black. He even posted a picture that shows the ‘Ghost Of Tsushima’ with black box art. Take a look To be honest, it does look pretty cool. Maybe we’ll see Sony use black for some of their other exclusives. Also Read: Sony Invests $250 Million In Epic Games [https://www.essentiallysports.com/sony-invests-250-million-in-epic-games-fortnite-esports-news/] Many are pointing out that PlayStation 5 is a little underpowered, on paper at least, compared to its rival Xbox Series X in terms of hardware specifications. But Epic Games’ VP of engineering Nick Penwarden called the PS5 ‘a masterpiece of systems design.’ Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 was showcased this year on the PS5 which only improves the bond between Sony and Epic. This also points towards a larger collaboration in the future. We could be looking at exclusives, early access, and a lot of other stuff. The box art definitely gets the fans thinking about the future of Sony’s exclusives. We’ll have more news on the same soon enough.

Spider-Man Miles Morales is the latest iteration in Marvel's Spider-Man game series. The game is next in line after the original Spider-Man game launched in 2018 but is not a direct sequel to the game.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-394928" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200929215739/Spider-Man-Miles-Morales-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="1400" height="787" />

It is also a PlayStation exclusive title and will not be available for any other platform.
<h2><strong>Story</strong></h2>
Spider-Man: Miles Morales follows the story of Miles, who is a teenager from Harlem. He was reportedly training under Peter Parker and is now looking to take up the mantle. At that moment, Miles' mother is running for the City Council and Miles is helping her with the campaign.

On the other hand, a war is brewing between two big corporations in the Marvel universe: Roxxon and The Underground.

Roxxon is a huge oil corporation in the Marvel universe. The Underground is a band of criminals led by the supervillain called the Tinkerer.

Both these corporations are in a power struggle against each other, which wreaks havoc in New York City. Obviously, there is collateral damage amidst this conflict and this is where Miles steps in. He is caught in the middle of this tussle and must fight his way to ensure peace prevails.
<h2><strong>Save transfers, next-gen upgrades, and more</strong></h2>
One bit of good news is that the game will be available as a free upgrade to PS4 owners who've upgraded to the PS5. Additionally, they will also be able to transfer all the saves/progress across generations.

The game is also capable of running at 60 FPS 4K in Dynamic mode and 4K 30 FPS in Fidelity mode. This is thanks to the next-gen graphical and computing prowess of the PlayStation 5.
<h2><strong>Price, Pre-Orders, and Release Date</strong></h2>
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is going to be a launch title for PlayStation 5 and will be available on Day 1. The game launched on November 12.

It is available for purchase on the PlayStation Store and is priced at $49.99.
