As gamers got to grips with PlayStation’s new Spider-Man title, one feature seemed to emerge as a firm favourite.
Released worldwide on Friday, the game includes the ability to take photos of the webbed wonder mid-game – including selfies, complete with filters, stickers and all the features a social media-savvy generation might expect.
And of course while swinging around New York City and fighting bad guys is fun. so is taking pictures of yourself as Spider-Man.
That’s something that gamers have been taking full advantage of.

Lots of people went for this particular gag, replicating a format anyone who’s spent a lot of time on social media will likely recognise.

There was a morbid twist as some gamers sought out this spot for a selfie – the grave of Ben Parker, aka Spidey’s Uncle Ben.

But perhaps the winning selfie was this one from actor Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Spider-Man in the game.
