While the PS5 game trailer has gone from the PlayStation channel and is blocked on the official PS5 blog, the official Marvel YouTube channel still has the video clip available for viewing. Marvel the company has had no such issues with Mile Morales though. Obviously, Sony’s lawyers will already be on the case, and it will no doubt get resolved tout de suite. It’s possible a feature spotted in the gameplay for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales irked someone at Gameloft, leading to a call to the legal department. Gameloft has been behind several Spider-Man mobile games, including Spider-Man: Toxic City, Ultimate Spider-Man: Total Mayhem, and the very popular but now discontinued Spider-Man Unlimited.

While many have bemoaned YouTube’s flawed copyright infringement process (basically a ' three strikes and you’re out' system that favors the complainant) others have wondered if Sony stepped on Gameloft’s toes because of the Spider-Man content or style of play shown in the Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales trailer. Spider-Man fans and PS5 fans have been busy speculating about why this particular copyright claim has come about. At the present, it is unclear why the French video-game company has made such a bold maneuver against the PS5 maker.

It seems the popular trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has now been removed from the YouTube channel for PlayStation after a copyright claim was made on behalf of Gameloft SE. There could be a legal storm brewing between PlayStation (owned by Sony), YouTube (owned by Google), and Gameloft SE (owned by Vivendi SA). Some have speculated the incident was down to the automated copyright system. Update June 22: The Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales trailer has now been reinstated to the official PlayStation YouTube channel.
