When your web-swinging brings you low to the ground or directly into the side of a skyscraper, you don't have to stop. Learning how to Wall Run allows you to keep your momentum going by sprinting vertically up walls or horizontally across the faces of buildings.
Here is how to seamlessly run on walls using your PS5 controller.
Step-by-Step Guide
Approach a flat wall: Swing, jump, or glide directly toward the side of any building or vertical surface.
Hold the sprint button: While in mid-air moving toward the building, press and hold the R2 button.
Make contact: Keep holding R2 as you hit the wall. Spider-Man will automatically transition from the air into a fast vertical or horizontal sprint across the surface.
Steer your run: Move the Left Stick up to run toward the roof, or hold it left or right to sprint sideways across the windows.
Pro Traversal Tricks on Walls
Wall running isn't just for climbing—it's a massive tool for keeping your parkour fluid. Try these techniques to master your movement:
The Corner Turn: When you are running horizontally and reach the corner of a building, Spider-Man will automatically swing around the edge to keep running if you keep holding R2.
Wall Jump: Press the Cross button (X) while wall running to leap off the building. This is perfect for jumping into a web-swing or deploying your Web Wings.
Over-the-Ledge Boost: If you run all the way to the top of a building, keep holding R2. Right as Spider-Man reaches the lip of the roof, tap X to get a massive launch boost into the air.
Pro Tip: If you ever accidentally stick to a wall in a stationary crawl instead of running, just tap R2 again while moving the stick to kickstart your sprint!
