Just when many players thought Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had received its final update, Insomniac Games has surprised fans with a fresh patch that adds new content and technical improvements across PlayStation 5 and PC. The update introduces two free Peter Parker suits, enhanced support for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PS5 Pro, and a new Power Saver mode. While it isn’t the story expansion some fans had hoped for, it gives players a good excuse to return to one of PlayStation’s most popular superhero games.
Two New Spider-Man Suits Available for Free
The headline feature of the update is the addition of two new suits for Peter Parker.
The first is the Fresh Start Suit, inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest Spider-Man movie. The design keeps the classic red-and-blue look while introducing subtle changes that match the film’s updated costume design.
The second addition is the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Suit, based on the upcoming Marvel fighting game. Its design features a larger spider emblem, white accents, and a distinct visual style that helps it stand out from the rest of Spider-Man 2’s already massive suit collection.
Both suits are available free of charge through the latest game update.
Enhanced PSSR Support Arrives on PS5 Pro
Beyond the new costumes, the update also improves visual quality for PlayStation 5 Pro owners. Insomniac has added support for Enhanced PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), Sony’s AI-powered upscaling technology designed to deliver sharper image quality while maintaining strong performance. The update should help Spider-Man 2 look even better on Sony’s upgraded console. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was already considered one of the best showcases for PS5 Pro hardware, thanks to its advanced ray tracing, dense city environments, and smooth performance modes.
New Power Saver Mode Added
Another smaller but useful addition is the inclusion of a new Power Saver Mode. While Insomniac hasn’t made this feature the centerpiece of the update, it gives players additional flexibility when playing supported games and aligns with Sony’s broader efforts to introduce more power-saving options on PlayStation hardware.

A Timely Update for Spider-Man Fans
The update arrives as excitement around Spider-Man continues to grow. The release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has renewed interest in the franchise, making the addition of the Fresh Start suit feel like a natural celebration for fans of both the movies and the games. Although the update doesn’t introduce new missions or story content, free cosmetic additions and visual enhancements are always welcome—especially for a game that many players had assumed was no longer receiving major updates.
GizmoAlert Insight
For PS5 Pro owners, this update is arguably more important than the new suits themselves. Sony has been steadily improving PSSR technology, and first-party titles like Spider-Man 2 are often the best examples of what the hardware can achieve. If you’ve recently upgraded to a PS5 Pro, this is one of the first games worth revisiting to see those improvements in action.
Final Thoughts
The latest Spider-Man 2 PS5 Pro Update may not be a massive expansion, but it delivers meaningful improvements for fans. Two free suits, enhanced PSSR support, and a new Power Saver mode add extra value to an already impressive superhero experience. For returning players, it’s a great excuse to swing back through New York City. And for PS5 Pro owners, it offers another showcase of how Sony’s upgraded console continues to evolve.
