Time capsules and how to unlock this challenge set in Spider-Man Miles Morales explained

Growing up Miles and Phin hid time capsules all over Manhattan and now, in Spider-Man Miles Morales, Miles wants to unearth them all.

If you want to find the time capsules though, you must first complete the sixth main mission - Reconnecting.

After this, the general location for each time capsule will appear on the main map. This doesn't, however, mean that the map shows you exactly where each time capsule is nor does it ensure that they'll be easy to find.

There's 16 time capsules for you to find in total throughout Spider-Man Miles Morales and, for every one you find, you'll receive 100 XP and three Activity Tokens. This makes collecting time capsules a great way to both level up Miles and unlock new Spider-Man suits.


Spider-Man Miles Morales has arrived, so check our mission flow guide to learn about the story unlocks and main campaign. After that, discover more about the Spider-Man suits Miles’ can wear, including how to unlock the Bodega Cat suit, Into the Spider-Verse suit, Purple Reign suit, and the Winter suit. We also have guides on the location for every postcard, sound sample and time capsule.
