Yes.. You can play as Venom again in Spider-Man 2 

Edit: As pointed out by @pgp in the comments below, you can also get the glitch to work by quickly closing your game at the right time instead of turning your PS5 off, though the timing may be slightly different Also worth noting, once you get the glitch to work and are playing as Venom, you can make a Manual Save which will let you resume playing as Venom any time you want, you don't have to go through all the trouble of getting it it to work again.

They should definitely have Venom be a reward for completing the game on Ultimate or something like that. Would be so cool, similar to old school games like the 2002 Spiderman Movie game where you could play as Green Goblin after you beat the story

The fact that Venom can pick up brutes like they’re nothing 😂

At this point Insomniac has to realize how badly a Venom game or DLC is wanted

this makes me want a venom spin-off game even more

This would be a great free update reward for 100% completions. Completely non canon, completely goofy, but super fun

Here's to hoping we'll get a Venom DLC content.

I think this proves how much the gamers want a solo Venom game or to be able to play as him more in post-game free roam lol Love Venom's gameplay and combat, wish there was a actual skill three and everything for him already XD

I don't see why they don't just add an uncanon "play as Venom" option in the post game.

Grabbing the giant symbiote like that is crazy 😂 this is how venom should be

Insomniac can't stop us from finding probably the best Glitches. They tried to fix the first and easy Venom glitch but we found another one. But seriously... they need to Nerf Venom a little bit if he gets his own game. He can kill like 30 criminals in 2 seconds

Playing an open world Venom gives me Prototype 2 flashbacks in a good way

This one’s even better because you can actually be the lethal protector

marvel spider man 2 has the best glitch’s I seen turning into the amazing cube, having the chair fly you up 4000 meters, running up on air pass 4000 meters and Venom gaming seriously how the hell did these guys even discover some of these. “Let Me keep jumping on this chair” “let me try running up from the glitchy pawn so I can keep running on an invisible wall” “let me shut of my PS5 in hopes I can be gaming as the lethal protector”

Playing as Venom is the dream. I remember playing Ultimate Carnage on Sega Genesis and thinking how awesome it was to play as Venom. I wish developers would just make free roam with any character a thing. Compete the game and play as whoever. It wouldn’t “break the canon”… not any more than some of the costumes. I mean, I’m certain this version of Spider-Man hasn’t met Miguel yet he has his suit…

damn.. venom literrally healing the world !hahahahah

“I’m gonna fight Spider-Man with my last breath” Actually works because think about how many people would assume Venom is just the result of Spider-Man wearing the black suit. Majority of people wouldn’t know any better.

Why this wasn't already included in the game is beyond me. Spiderman games more than a decade old did this and it was awesome.

Venom: Walks up to criminals Criminal: I’M GONNA FIGHT SPIDER-MAN WITH MY LAST BREATH

I heard that only 10% of Tony Todd's voice recordings was used for the Venom content, Im drooling at the prospect of a Venom free roam dlc and the fact that people are still breaking the game just to be able to play as Venom is a clear enough indication there is demand for it.

Venom is probably gonna get his own Miles Morales style game

Wish they'd just allow venom to be used as a non canon type thing it is a game

Insomniac really needs to bring a mode for venom like in the ultimate spider man game, they even gave him the back breaker.

I can confirm that fidelity mode does not have to be on. Did it first try , unplugged the cable directly from the ps5 and not the wall. Right after it goes to the black screen.

Insomniac: Nah people don't wanna see more of Venom, they definitely want to see MJ being way too op because she's a strong independent woman

Venom Choking Another Symbiote Is Crazy.🔥

This should be a feature, the animations work so well it almost looks official.

It worked for me on the first try by unplugging the PS5 directly from the power as soon as the black screen of the Venom cinematic came out (it didn't work for me by turning it off from the console button or with the dualsense). Thank you for this

I don't play the game and even don't have a PS5. I just watch this videos out of curiosity and what really amazes me is how people find this glitches

Looks fun, cant wait for the inevitable Venom DLC (or hopefully a spin-off game)

venom casually picking up and yeeting the symbiote brute is the funniest shit ever idk why

I might be Tinfoil Ned here but look at the Symbiote Brute’s hands. It’s almost like they made a dedicated animation for venom picking them up and carrying them. There’s no other character or ally that can pick up these foes right? So if they put in this animation for them to get carried around by Venom, that means that Venom might be able to be played at a later time through an update or DLC

So it looks like venom is already playable and coded in the engine. Now for them to drop the DLC to make it "Available"

I guess Venom is still the lethal protector but with Harry Osborn instead of Eddie Brock...Man I wish Eddie Brock would be Venom again

I wish the game had a endless horde mode similar to the Batman arkham games. It'd be fun to play as venom killing an endless amount of enemies.

just venom showing that brute who's boss. he said sit down boy this is my game.

For me, the glitch took effect immediately when I got close to the drone mission. The city also turned really dark, but it was still sunset.

The closest thing to a Venom Lethal Protector game

But still it's hard to traverse in the game which I wish they added the long jump and climbing war feature in that section like ultimate spiderman so we can have more fun in this glitch

This is all I wanted, would be a dream come true if it's an option in the game, and not do it trough a glitch, many thanks for finding this glitch 😁

Just add it in insomniac....

1/4/2024. Glitch still working

really hope we get some sort of update to let us play as venom in the future

Now after people discover this, beware of Venom riding a bicycle videos all over the place.

Now imagine everyone, Playable Carnage.

Omg wait a venom vs carnage boss fight would be incredible!

Considering venom isn’t completely broken in a free roam glitch….like in most games, the character would break if in a free roam glitch. That definitely proves that insomniac has more potential with venom than just a few story missions

It's like Ultimate Spider-Man all over again

I LOVE CORRUPTING MY SAVE FILE FOR A MERE CHANCE TO PLAY AS VENOM!!

Insomniac not making venom fully playable then having the gall to audition for game of the year

Like the undies, there should be a 100% reward In this case, the ability to switch to venom, with the FSM app like Peter or miles And ofc, they need to give him more mechanics like better movement like go up walls better and interact with objects for example and maybe he can use his wings like Peter and miles And maybe some alternate suits because why not? I’d like to play as a classic venom or Tom Hardy venom

I hope in NG+ they let us play as Venom at night

I think there’s a legitimate chance we might get the option to free roam as Venom post-game in the next update: -There’s no way Insomniac developed a whole new combat style just for a single segment -Saying it wouldn’t make sense story-wise wouldn’t really matter considering we get the symbiote suits (+ the black tendrils in the update) post game

He’s definitely going to be playable in the future , might have a mode just for him like In ultimate Spider-Man

Venom looked like he was about to choke slam that Rioit-looking symbiote in the thumbnail. XD

It's a very cool glitch but I don't think it's worth destroying your PS5 over but I do hope insomniac make a Venom spin-off game in the near future

Btw if you were STILL struggling then try spamming pause at the cutscene were he is about to jump off then the second u can't pause anymore go to homescreen close the game as fast as possible and do what the vid says

Being able to pick up civilians makes me wonder if the original plan was to allow you to play as Venom for a more extended period of time or a section where you're just attacking NY, because I don't know why else you'd be able to do that. I don't believe they're coded in the same manner as enemies, and as is there's no reason for there to be an exception for Venom... But I guess it just depends on how the game handles a player attempting to hit a civilian vs a thug as Spider-Man.

You want to corrupt your save files? Because this is how you corrupt your save files XD

So like the final battle will be a piece of cake, would love to see videos on Venom vs Venom

This needs to be an option in a future update. After beating the game or Something

I bet these developers watching all these glitches are like we’re still getting fired

Now we can truly be the LETHAL PROTECTOR!!!

This is really cool thanks

Bro this is giving me Ultimate Spiderman vibes!! Such a throwback

I was so hyped when we got to play as venom but then i was sad because it was only for like 6 minutes

Venom: “I’M FINALLY LOVED!!!”

This glitch foreshadowing venom solo game, with eddie brock as the main character. (Yes eddie brock is exist in insomniac universe)

I love how everyone keeps complaining about playing as venom, when it was never intended to play like this 💀

Lethal Protector hours.

If they make a Venom solo game or DLC I hope either Eddie Brock ir Flash Thompson is the host.

Marvel's Venom: Lethal Protector

They guy who found this glitch deserves a new ps5 because he probably burnt his own

Venom simply gives off Prototype vibes

Y’all need to understand it’s good business to NOT give Venom for free. Either a whole new game or a paid DLC it’s in their best interest.

I only get the "problems with Harry"

For a second , I was wondering if this was an actual DLC. It would be wonderful to play as Venom without limitations.

The fact that 90% of Venom content was likely ACTUAL free-roaming Venom Gameplay, only for Bryan Intihar to cut it all for the sake of shoving in MJ Missions

This is how Venom turned whole world into symbiotes

This gives me major Lethal Protector vibes, hope we get a Eddie Brock Venom game eventually

You can now play as the lethal protector

Insomniac should just make a ng+ where you play as venom the whole time.

I really wish they had side missions where you could play as venom, like maybe Spiderman comes across ruined landmarks or symbiote nests then it cuts to a flashback of Venom destorying the place or making it his territory. I feel like they could've included him way more in this game honestly, wasted opportunity.

Yo that’s awesome 👏🏾 I have to try this when the update comes out. Since I already beat the game

If they made a sequel with Venom becoming lethal protector then that would be great.

Bro, he just killed his own army 💀

When I noticed that I was controlling Venom I almost lost my shit, reminded me of snes maximum carnage

You know what this means right ? You don’t ? Alright it’s VENOM VS VENOM FIGHT TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spiderman man holds back. Venom doesn't thats why hes so fun to play as.

I feel like after all of the bugs, they'll make a dlc that allows you to play as venom or something

I'm getting huge Prototype vibes... Nostalgic !

I swear to Knull, if Insomniac doesn't make a Venom game...

Video Idea: If you be Peter wearing classic suit first and you change your suit to symbiote suit it instant complete the symbiote nest

let me echo somebody I heard once let's go back to that era of early gaming where games had hidden cheat codes and you could do fun stuff with it like playing GTA and spawning helicopters or a tank it doesn’t make sense but it's fun after finishing the game maybe, cheat codes can be unlocked and you can play as Venom after doing complex inputs

I really hope they don't patch this out. Just let us have our fun as the big goopy boy.

Now u made Venom actually the lethal protector

The Lethal Protector!

How did u get to brutes, they appear later in the story??

I wish this was a feature, not a glitch.

I’m Excited To See How Everyone On PC Will Mod Venom Into The Open World
