WHAT TIME CAN YOU DOWNLOAD SPIDER-MAN DLC?

The Heist releases on PlayStation 4 Tuesday, Oct. 23. The official PlayStation Store listing doesn't give an exact time for when the DLC will be available to download, but fans hoping to dive in at 12 a.m. EDT will likely have to wait until the early morning.

Update: I’m told it’s normal for PSN in North America that DLC (including The Heist) goes up when the store updates in the morning. Sorry if you were staying up!

As always, we recommend hooking up your system to an ethernet connection if possible, since Wi-Fi downloads can take hours.

WHAT DOES THE HEIST INCLUDE?

The Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps DLC bundle consists of three parts, with The Heist being the first. Players can purchase this story DLC separately for $9.99, and the entire bundle costs $24.99.

Spidey's suits are a huge part of Spider-Man's gameplay, and The Heist gives players access to three new suits. We don't know what each suit can do yet, but they're sure to give players a leg up on beating down bad guys. Take a look at the three new suits coming with The Heist below.
