In a thrilling revival of a classic feature from the original game, Spider-Man 2 introduces the ability to execute aerial tricks while swinging or diving through the cityscape. Among the myriad of acrobatic feats available, one particular maneuver is catching the attention of players and enthusiasts alike – the enigmatic "Rubik's Cube" trick, which has set the gaming community abuzz, with some frantically looking for quick guides to figure out how it is done. Well, here it is!


The Rubik's Cube is a renowned puzzle adorned with various coloured squares. In Spider-Man 2, triggering this trick involves a precise combination of buttons that initiates the hero solving a virtual Rubik's Cube mid-air. While this has gained considerable popularity within the gaming community, some players are encountering challenges in mastering this skill. To assist those who may be struggling, we provide a step-by-step guide on executing the Rubik's Cube trick in Spider-Man 2.


Spider-Man 2: How To Do The Rubik's Cube Trick


Despite its initial appearance of complexity, the Rubik's Cube trick becomes straightforward when the appropriate button sequence is understood. The following steps outline how to perform this awe-inspiring maneuver:



  • Ensure you are playing as Peter Parker, as Miles Morales lacks the ability to perform the Rubik's Cube trick. To switch to Peter, simply swipe left on the touchpad and hold the Square button.

  • Ascend to the summit of a towering structure, ideally one that allows for a breathtaking leap, such as the Avengers Tower or the Empire State Building.

  • When perched atop your chosen skyscraper, simultaneously hold down R2 and X, and then release them after a brief pause, propelling yourself into the skies.

  • At the peak of your ascent, engage L3 to initiate a dive, releasing the button once Peter has entered his dive.

  • While in mid-dive, press the Square button and pull the left trigger downward.

  • Maintain these actions, and watch as Peter elegantly unravels a Rubik's Cube while hurtling toward the ground.






It is worth noting that leaping from great heights is not a prerequisite for executing the Rubik's Cube trick or any other aerial maneuver. Such tricks can be performed during regular web-slinging or following a descent from the Web Wings. Nonetheless, opting for a high-altitude launch not only enhances the visual spectacle of the trick but also results in increased experience points (XP) gain, as tricks performed over extended durations yield greater XP rewards.
