Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Update 1.005.000 Adds New Suits and PS5 Pro Support
Insomniac Games has released a significant new update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, adding new cosmetic content and enhanced technical support for PlayStation 5 Pro consoles. The free update, version 1.005.000, went live for all players on July 28, 2026, according to an announcement from the developer on its official social media channels.
This patch serves as both a content drop and a technical enhancement. It introduces two new suits for Peter Parker and implements specific features for the PlayStation 5 Pro hardware. The update is available at no additional cost to owners of the base game.

The developer framed the update as a celebration of current Spider-Man media. "It's a Brand New Day for Marvel's Spider-Man 2!" Insomniac Games stated in its announcement post. The patch is designed to align with upcoming releases like the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film.
Fresh Start and Marvel Tōkon Suits Join the Roster
The latest update introduces two new cosmetic items directly tied to other major Marvel releases. According to Insomniac Games' official announcement, the free update adds the "Fresh Start" suit and the "Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls" suit for Peter Parker, bringing the game's total suit count to 92.
The Fresh Start suit is a direct recreation of Tom Holland's costume from the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Its addition is a timely cross-promotion, as the movie is set for its theatrical premiere on July 31, 2026.
The second addition is based on Spider-Man's appearance in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the tag-team fighting game from Arc System Works. This cel-shaded suit replicates the character's look from the game, which is scheduled for release on August 6, 2026.
Technical Enhancements: Enhanced PSSR and Power Saver Mode
Beyond new cosmetics, Update 1.005.000 delivers significant technical upgrades for PlayStation 5 Pro owners and introduces a new system-wide energy-saving feature. The patch, released July 28, 2026, formally adds support for Enhanced PSSR, building upon the game's existing PlayStation 5 Pro optimizations.
According to Insomniac Games' announcement, the Enhanced PSSR support improves image upscaling quality and stability. This AI-driven rendering technology, specific to the PS5 Pro, is designed to deliver a sharper visual presentation while maintaining high performance. As noted by VGC, the update enables "enhanced PSSR upscaling on PlayStation 5 Pro," allowing the nearly three-year-old game to look its best on Sony's current high-end console hardware.
The update also implements support for the PlayStation 5's Power Saver mode. This optional setting, which players must manually enable, allows supported games to scale back performance to reduce the console's overall power consumption. IGN reports the feature works by "scaling back their performance, thereby reducing the console's overall power consumption," presenting it as a benefit for players mindful of energy usage.
Insomniac Games Momentum: Sales Success and Future Projects
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has sold 16 million copies and Insomniac Games is preparing to launch Marvel's Wolverine this September, cementing the studio's position as a premier PlayStation developer. The milestone, reported by VGC based on Sony data from November 2025, builds on the game's initial record-breaking sales of 2.5 million copies in its first 24 hours.
This commercial success underscores the title's lasting appeal, which continues to be supported with updates like the recent v1.005.000. The studio's momentum now shifts toward its next major project. Insomniac Games is developing Marvel's Wolverine, with its release date confirmed for September 15.
Looking ahead, Marvel's Wolverine represents Insomniac's continued investment in the Marvel universe for PlayStation consoles. The upcoming title's release, combined with Spider-Man 2's sustained sales and updates, demonstrates the developer's ongoing pipeline of high-profile, exclusive content.
