According to the FAQs section of the Spider-Man 2 official website, Spider-Man 2 (PS5) occurs nine months after the story arc of Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Similarly, Spider-Man: Miles Morales occurs a year after Spider-Man (2018). As such, Spider-man 2 takes place almost two years after the first installment.
If story is not an important aspect for your gaming experience, then playing ther pevious games will not be necessary.
It is advisable to play the past installments if you want to understand the overarching narrative of the Marvel's Spider-Man series.
For Spider-Man 2 (PS5), New York will be having two Spider-Men this time around. After the events of both Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you could now explore both of their storylines in a single gameplay experience.
New villains are now threatening the city of New York just after it was saved from Otto Octavius and Mister Negative. Both heroes will have to face a ruthless hunter, an alien symbiote, and a giant lizard to keep their city from harm's way.
During the events of Spider-Man, Norman Osborn was working tirelessly and spending his fortune to find a cure for his son. In the first game's ending, we see Harry submerged in a vat of green liquid and attached to black tendrils.
The sequel game will now explore Harry Osborn being more active in Peter's life. Only time will tell if his condition improves or worsens in the sequel.
