The two playable Spider-Men are established in the Insomniac franchise—Miles as an original addition rather than a swap—and their relationships remain heterosexual (Peter with MJ Watson; Miles with deaf street artist Hailey Cooper). However, progressive elements appear prominently in the world and side content: Black Cat is explicitly confirmed bisexual with a girlfriend in Paris during a Miles mission, a side quest involves helping a gay student ask his boyfriend to homecoming, multiple pride flags (including trans, bi, gay, ace, pan, and lesbian) decorate the open world, and a non-binary scientist appears at the Emily-May Foundation. These inclusions, alongside a diverse NYC population and strong accessibility features, reflect intentional representation.
