Insomniac Games releases patch 1.005 with Fresh Start suit and PS5 Pro enhancements
The developer confirmed the release with a statement highlighting the new cosmetic additions. Insomniac Games said, “Hey everyone! It’s a brand-new day for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2! We just launched a fresh update that punches up our suit offerings for Peter Parker – among other new additions.” The studio further detailed the technical changes in a follow-up note. They stated, “Update 1.005.000 adds two new suits for Peter Parker, including the Fresh Start suit (inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day) and the MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls suit. We also add support for enhanced PSSR for PS5 Pro and Power Saver mode for PS5 consoles.”
- Update Version: 1.005 (complete version 1.005.000)
- Platforms: PS5, PC
- New Suits: Fresh Start suit (inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day), MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls suit
- PS5 Pro Feature: Enhanced PSSR support
- PS5 Feature: Power Saver mode
Peter Parker players can now equip the Fresh Start suit, which draws inspiration from the Spider-Man: Brand New Day storyline. The second cosmetic option is the MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls suit, also available for the main protagonist. These additions expand the wardrobe options without altering core gameplay mechanics or character stats. The suits serve as visual updates that reflect recent media tie-ins and collaborations.
Console owners receive specific hardware optimizations tailored to their device generation. PS5 Pro users gain support for enhanced PSSR, which stands for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. This feature likely improves image fidelity or performance scaling on the newer hardware. Standard PS5 consoles receive a new Power Saver mode designed to reduce energy consumption. This mode scales back performance metrics to achieve lower power draw during gameplay.
We looked at the last Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update while tracking recent balance and stability themes. That previous patch focused on technical fixes, whereas this release emphasizes content and efficiency. The current update does not include pricing changes or new availability windows. Players can download version 1.005.000 immediately on both supported platforms.
