Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5 Pro: upgrading Insomniac's masterpiece

John Linneman investigates Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for PS5 Pro. How does the game benefit from the extra GPU power and RT features?

Combine this with the various frame-rate options and you have quite a wide range of choice on the Pro, including new performance and fidelity graphics modes that work differently to the base machine. That means you'll still be seeing lower-res textures and simplified objects reflected in the glass, something that you could overcome in PC versions of prior Spider-Man games but is unfortunately off-limits here. The high setting also adds a screen-space GI component which is also quite subtle, but can colour buildings with the orange glow of sunset or the blue sheen of a sign for example.
