Insomniac Games Releases Major PS5 Pro Updates for Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Insomniac Games has released PS5 Pro support updates for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, enhancing visuals with options tailored to the PS5 Pro’s upgraded hardware. With fans eagerly anticipating Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game and Venom: Lethal Protector, these updates offer a fresh experience for players returning to Spider-Man 2 and Rift Apart on PS5 Pro.
Performance Pro & Fidelity Pro Modes
The updates introduce two new graphics modes: Performance Pro and Fidelity Pro.
- Performance Pro (Default Mode): Aims for a smooth 60fps using PlayStation’s Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology, retaining the image quality of standard Fidelity mode. It enables full ray-tracing features like reflections and water, providing enhanced visuals without sacrificing performance.
- Fidelity Pro: Prioritizes higher-quality ray-tracing effects, such as enhanced reflections, ambient occlusion, and lighting. This mode targets 30fps, offering a more cinematic experience for players looking to maximize graphical detail.
Graphical Toggles
The update allows players to adjust ray-tracing settings individually for finer control:
- RT Reflections: Select Medium (Performance) or High (Fidelity) settings, affecting the quality of reflections.
- RT Ambient Occlusion: Adds lighting details in Medium and High settings for a richer scene.
- RT Key Light Shadows (Spider-Man 2 only): Uses ray-tracing for sun shadows, bringing more depth to cityscapes in Fidelity Pro mode.
Miscellaneous Fixes
The patch also addresses minor issues, including restoring fur wetness effects on Corson V in Rift Apart.
These updates show Insomniac’s commitment to pushing next-gen visuals on PS5 Pro, giving players a richer experience in both games. With these improvements, fans can look forward to even more polished visuals in the developer’s future projects.
