With superhero games constantly expanding their cosmetics and performance options, Insomniac’s latest move for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a clear example of how studios keep momentum between major content beats. Today’s update adds two new suits tied to Spider-Man’s wider media universe—plus system features that include PS5 Pro support.
Brand New Day suit arrives for Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters this week, and Insomniac Games previously confirmed it would celebrate the occasion by adding Tom Holland’s new suit to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in a free update. That update is now live, bringing Peter’s Brand New Day suit to the game alongside additional costume content and gameplay-support features.
A second costume crossover: Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
Beyond Peter’s Brand New Day look, the update also includes Spider-Man’s costume from the upcoming tag-team fighting game Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. It’s another crossover moment that ties Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to a separate Spider-Man-focused release, giving players a fresh reason to revisit the game for wardrobe variety while they wait for more fighting-game details.
PS5 Pro system features: Enhanced PSSR and Power Saver
Alongside the new suits, the update adds quality-of-life support aimed at next-gen hardware. For players on PS5 Pro, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 now includes Enhanced PSSR support, designed to improve rendering behavior, and a Power Saver mode intended to change performance/power characteristics. The update also lands on both PlayStation 5 and PC, keeping the broader player base aligned even as PS5 Pro owners get extra tuning.
What this means for players waiting on new Spider-Man content
This update reinforces a simple strategy: keep the Spider-Man 2 community engaged with timely tie-ins while expanding technical options for higher-end systems. With costumes now linked to both Brand New Day and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the game’s next steps may continue to lean on cross-media partnerships—especially if Insomniac keeps using free updates to spotlight upcoming Marvel projects.

Expert View
For the broader market, this update signals that Insomniac is treating Spider-Man 2 as a long-running platform rather than a one-and-done release—using free cosmetic drops tied to upcoming Marvel properties to keep engagement high. For the competitive and community angle, while suits aren’t esports-impacting, the PS5 Pro enhancements and added power mode suggest studios are still actively optimizing performance targets as new hardware matures. If Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls brings more spotlight to the Spider-Man brand, Spider-Man 2’s cross-promotion approach could become a template for future tie-ins across the franchise.
