First time playing the game so release schedule doesn't matter to me but what's stopping this edition to have the game and the dlc on the disc?
What exactly qualifies a game to have a "game of the year" edition? This has always confused me. I didn't think Spider-Man was even close to the majority of last year's awards.
Regardless I haven't gotten around to the game yet and as someone who's both on a Marvel high and bummed by the Spidey news, this is a pretty big incentive to scoop it up...

Disc space. The disc is full already with the main game. Patches + DLC especially wouldn't fit.
There is multiple game of the year awards and Spider Man won some of them.
Man, I didn't realize it was that big - thanks for clarifying.
psst is the box art reversible?
Multiple disc games are around, RDR2/Xcom 2/EU version of Shadow of War Definitive.
Edit: tried to make my post seem less snippy.
I agree that I wish the DLC was one whole package. I didn't like how the 3 were separate but wouldn't label it bad.
Maybe for the next game they'll just have a big expansion instead of smaller DLC. The worst part about it was the costumes didn't do anything, I didn't use all the costume powers a ton but it was sool.
Glad you replied, because I did in fact notice the final DLC was the best of the bunch, and I noticed that it was completely void of the Miles/MJ sections that were somewhat of a point of contention with the fans, and in my opinion it was the better for it. Was the final DLC (and possibly the second, can't remember) lacking those sections a result of the feedback you mentioned, or would you be saying to much by revealing that?
Also, what are the chances of an Into the Spider-Verse Miles costume, the badass one with the hoodie?
This ins't happening. If it was they would have stopped this right here.
Spiderman 2 on PS5 can't wait!
I didn't mind that about the later costumes lacking powers, I mean we got so many free costumes and look at what a lot of these lesser games are charging for different costumes. I felt the love from the developers with the amount of costumes, with some like Future Foundation releasing long after they had any reason to continue to do so.
I do agree that no matter what the DLC shouldn't have been split up, even if just for the perception of it. It also came out too soon after the game, which led to a lot of people saying "Durr well why wasn't that in the game." So, I think just for perception reasons the DLC shouldn't have come out until at least several months later, and it should have been one package.
That's not to say you can't have separate DLCs, if you notice no one's complaining about the Witcher 3's Blood & Wine and Hearts of Stone, it's just that a DLC the length of the Spidey one comes off better when played as one cohesive package, thus you wouldn't have so many spreading the false narrative that the Spidey DLC is "bad."
Literally the only thing that was questionable about the game was the handling of the DLC, but look at the bright side, only us Day Oners (and there were a lot of us) will remember that now as this Game of the Year edition effectively erases that problem for future webheads.
It's just used as a marketing term here. Game of the Year is not an offical title either, thousands of gaming outlets, forums etc. small and big give that title to different games. Spider-Man also received the third most GOTY awards after God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018 according to: https://gotypicks.blogspot.com/
Sorry to bump this old thread, but it seemed like the most applicable place to ask:
Anyone familiar enough with Insomniac to be able to give an educated guess on if they'll release a definitive edition someday with all DLC on physical media (say in a Greatest Hits edition or otherwise)? I know they've re-released a lot of Batman games, but I don't know how they've dealt with those releases with DLC.
I'm one of those weirdos who still likes to have everything on disc for games that I want to keep in my permanent collection, and I was really disappointed to see they went the voucher route.
