In an interview with The Telegraph (opens in new tab), SIE’s EVP Head of European Business Simon Rutter stated that Spider-Man Miles Morales is “an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game,” as opposed to a stand-alone sequel.

What we know about Spider-Man Miles Morales
Rutter added: “There’s a substantial Miles Morales component – which is the expansion element – but also within the game as well there’s been major enhancements to the game and the game engine, obviously deploying some of the major PlayStation 5 technology and features.” The presentation at the PS5 games event was certainly misleading, and it’s still unclear if players will have to barrel through the same Spider-Man game just to get to the Miles Morales section. It’s also unclear if PS4 owners will get access to the Spider-Man: Miles Morales expansion. If so, how much will it cost? And will the original Spider-Man PS4 owners get Spider-Man PS5 as a free upgrade? There are still so many unanswered questions about the logistics of Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Whatever they may be, I highly doubt that fans are going to be happy. In an ideal world, fans would get the Spider-Man PS5 upgrade for free, but only have to pay an additional fee to score Spider-Man: Miles Morales. We’ll see if that’ll be the case. Stay tuned for more information about Spider-Man Miles Morales.
