Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 now has a live Spider-Man 2 PS5 update QSSR on PlayStation 5. Insomniac Games says the patch brings image stability and sharpness benefits to the 2023 title in both Fidelity and Performance modes.
Mike Fitzgerald on QSSR
Mike Fitzgerald said, "Having seen great results integrating QSSR in Marvel’s Wolverine, our team decided to bring it to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as well, in an update that’s live now!" That puts the feature in front of players who already own the base console, not just owners of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution on PlayStation 5 Pro.
He also said, "We’re excited for players to swing back into our 2023 title and see QSSR’s exciting image stability and sharpness benefits in both Fidelity and Performance modes." The practical change is narrower than the marketing around AI upscaling might suggest, because the available details stop at sharper details, cleaner edges, and more stable images rather than a published benchmark jump.
QSSR on PlayStation 5
QSSR, or Quick Spectral Super Resolution, was introduced last month. It is built on the same foundation as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution on PlayStation 5 Pro, and it is meant to bring AI-guided upscaling to the console players already own.
That matters because the rollout is broader than one game. Remedy Entertainment is bringing QSSR to Control Resonant on PlayStation 5 in December, while Embark Studios says QSSR is coming soon to ARC Raiders and The Finals, with increased sharpness, better environmental clarity and overall visual improvements.
QSSR for No Man’s Sky will arrive in the next few weeks, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is also part of the rollout. Players of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 can use the update now, but the remaining games are still moving through staggered timing rather than landing all at once.
Staggered rollout ahead
The unresolved question is simple: how much better does QSSR make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 look or perform compared with the previous version? Insomniac has described the change as meaningful, but it has not put numbers on the gain, so players will have to judge the update by the image itself.
