If you’re still playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Insomniac has just made it easier to come back: two brand-new suits have been added via update 1.005.000, and they’re available to all players at no extra cost. Here’s what’s new, who should care, and what to watch next.
What’s changed: two new suits arrive via update 1.005.000
Insomniac Games has shadow-dropped two additional suits for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as part of its 1.005.000 update. The company confirmed the additions in a post on X, surprising fans who weren’t expecting more content nearly three years after the game’s initial launch window.
The first suit is called the Fresh Start suit. It’s based on the appearance of Spider-Man in the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The second is the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls suit, which is designed to resemble the outfit shown in Arc System Works’ fighting game that’s set to launch next month.
Visually, the Fresh Start suit is described as a more classic Spider-Man look. By comparison, the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls suit stands out because it’s one of the few suits in the game that uses a cel-shaded style, giving it a more stylized, illustration-like presentation.
Who’s affected: how to get the suits and why players may want them
The suits are available to everyone, with no purchase required beyond downloading the update. After updating, players can select the new outfits in-game.
Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles are known for having large suit rosters inspired by Spider-Man’s comic and on-screen history. That variety is part of the appeal for players who stick to favorites—or who like to rotate looks for different missions and playthroughs.
On PC specifically, the source also points out that there are already many suit mods for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. While that’s separate from Insomniac’s official additions, it underscores why new suits matter: they expand the official options and can also influence what players choose to use alongside community content.
What comes next: small performance upgrades and Insomniac’s focus shift
Update 1.005.000 adds more than just cosmetics. It also includes support for Enhanced PSSR on PlayStation 5 Pro and introduces a Power Saver mode—both framed as quality-of-life improvements that may not be flashy, but can help with day-to-day play.
Looking beyond Spider-Man, Insomniac is currently working on Marvel’s Wolverine. That means there’s no confirmed timeline for the next mainline Spider-Man entry. There have been murmurs that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 could already be in development, but the source notes that Insomniac hasn’t confirmed anything, so those claims should be treated as rumor until an official announcement.
Given the success of the previous two games, a third mainline Spider-Man title is still a reasonable expectation—but for now, this latest update is a clear sign that Insomniac is willing to keep supporting Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 with new suit content even long after release.

- Both suits are available for free after you download the update.

| Suit | Inspiration | Notable style |

Expert View
This is the kind of update that lands well with long-term players: it doesn’t demand a return to the story or new modes, but it gives fresh visual variety and adds practical system support. The most interesting part is the cross-media timing—one suit ties into the upcoming movie, while the other nods to a near-future fighting game—suggesting Insomniac is using Spider-Man 2 as a flexible platform for recognizable pop-culture aesthetics even after the spotlight has moved on.
