Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update v1.005.000 is rolling out on PS5 with two free suits for Peter Parker and two system-focused additions. Insomniac Games says the patch adds Enhanced PSSR support on PS5 Pro and support for the PS5’s Power Saver mode.
What does the Spider-Man 2 update add?
The update adds the Fresh Start suit and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls suit for Peter Parker. Both costumes are included as free content for existing owners.
The Fresh Start suit is inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, while the second costume adopts the cel-shaded appearance used for Spider-Man in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. The Sony-published fighting game is scheduled for release on August 6.
Insomniac announced the feature list through its official X account, with Video Games Chronicle reporting the update and its two suit inspirations.
Does Spider-Man 2 use Enhanced PSSR on PS5 Pro?
Spider-Man 2 now supports Enhanced PSSR upscaling on PS5 Pro, according to Insomniac Games. The announcement calls the technology “Enhanced PSSR”; it does not use the name “PSSR2”.
PSSR stands for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, Sony’s upscaling technology. The patch introduces an enhanced path for the PS5 Pro version, but Insomniac has not detailed the resulting resolution, frame rate, or image-quality changes.
Those omissions leave the practical size of the visual improvement unclear until more technical analysis or direct comparisons are available. Original PS5 owners still receive the new suits and Power Saver support, but Enhanced PSSR is identified as a PS5 Pro feature.
What does Power Saver mode change?
Power Saver mode lets PS5 consoles save energy by reducing game performance or resolution. Update v1.005.000 adds explicit support for the mode in Spider-Man 2.
Insomniac has not specified which resolution or performance settings are reduced when the mode is active. Players who prioritise the game’s usual visual or performance settings may therefore want to leave Power Saver disabled until its exact trade-offs are documented.
How do you download Spider-Man 2 v1.005.000?
Existing owners can download v1.005.000 as a standard free PS5 title update. Consoles with automatic updates enabled may fetch it without further input.
If the patch has not started automatically, highlight Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the PS5 home screen, press the Options button, and select Check for Update. The announcement does not mention a paid expansion, season pass, or separate purchase requirement for the two suits.
