Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5 Pro elevates the technical presentation of the base PS5 release by replacing temporal injection with PSSR upscaling, providing superior image clarity and fine detail resolution. Performance Pro mode offers a rock-solid 60fps at ~1440p internal resolution, scaling to 60-70fps with VRR. Fidelity Pro mode operates at near-4K internal resolution and adds advanced ray tracing features including RT key light shadows, higher-resolution reflections, and RTAO with screen-space GI, locking to 30fps, 40fps in 120Hz mode, or 50-60fps uncapped. While not a complete visual overhaul, PS5 Pro is the definitive platform for image quality and RT fidelity.
