Insomniac Games has dropped a surprise free update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, adding two new suits for Peter Parker at no extra cost, according to PlayStation LifeStyle. The patch, version 1.005.000, is now live on both PS5 and PC.
The update also brings technical improvements, including Enhanced PSSR 2.0 for PS5 Pro users and a new Power Saver mode for the standard PS5. There are no new story missions — the focus is entirely on cosmetics and performance, Noisy Pixel confirmed.
Two New Free Suits Added for Peter Parker
The first new suit is the Fresh Start outfit from the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film. It arrives timed to coincide with the film's release, giving fans a way to tie their game to the movie, Video Games Chronicle reported.
The second suit is the MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls outfit. It features white accents and a larger spider emblem. Insomniac says it was made "in the spirit" of the MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls game, making it a cross-promotion with Sony's fighting-game project, according to Noisy Pixel.
PS5 Pro Gets Enhanced PSSR 2.0 Visual Upgrade
The update adds Enhanced PSSR 2.0 support for PS5 Pro owners. PSSR stands for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution — it is Sony's upscaling tool that improves image sharpness without a big hit to performance. Video Games Chronicle noted this is a meaningful visual boost for Pro hardware.
Standard PS5 owners also get something new: a Power Saver mode. Sony describes it as a feature that scales back performance to cut power consumption. It won't improve visuals, but it will lower how much electricity the console draws while running the game, Noisy Pixel reported.
Free DLC Arrives as Auto-Update, No Purchase Needed
Players do not need to buy anything to get the new suits. The content arrives through an automatic game update, according to PlayStation LifeStyle. Both suits unlock once the patch downloads — there is no separate store purchase or season pass required.
The update is part of Insomniac's ongoing post-launch support for the game. The studio is also working on upcoming titles, including Marvel's Wolverine. For now, this patch keeps Spider-Man 2 fresh while fans wait for bigger content drops, Yahoo Tech noted.
