These Are Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Rumored Performance And Fidelity Modes

August 15, 2023 by Ryan Parreno

We at least know it will be a graphical showcase for the platform.

A new rumor has come up of what we can expect for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s graphic modes.

This rumor comes from a Twitter account using the handle insider_wtf. Basing off of a translation from redditor bluffsaywhat, these are the details for the graphic modes:

Fidelity mode will be set at 30FPS, and output at 4K base resolution. This version of the game will have ray-tracing, and additional visual effects

Performance mode will be set at 60FPS, and will output at 4K, but only upscaled. It won’t have visual effects such as ray-tracing as well.

As we have seen in multiple previews, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 really does look incredible on its own. However, as we can also see, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is no different to other modern games in that if you really want to play the game at 60 FPS, you have to make a deliberate choice to do so.

How does this compare to the original? Well, Marvel’s Spider-Man originally released on the PlayStation 4, so we’ll look at Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on the PlayStation 5. And on that platform, Fidelity Mode runs with all the additional visual effects, also at 30 FPS, at 4K. There is a Performance mode that goes for 60 FPS and has a dynamic resolution. There is also a Performance RT mode that adds ray tracing to that 60FPS, but subsequently, will affect that dynamic resolution more dramatically.

Obviously, since Marvel’s Spider-Man started out as a PlayStation 4 game, it has less intensive graphics than a native PlayStation 5 game. Insomniac had a lot of leeway to be able to add raytracing to Performance RT.

However, we can also be quite certain that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be far more visually impressive, and probably even better looking that Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s Performance RT mode. This is an Insomniac that better understands the PlayStation 5 hardware, and will be able to get more out of it

Most gamers, as you may have noticed, will insist 60FPS is the superior option, but even then, your mileage may vary. 60 FPS also isn’t for everyone, as some gamers may prefer what they see as better responsiveness. Other players, however, may have been so used to 30FPS that 60FPS and all the compromises needed to get there are visually jarring to them. In any case, it is good that Insomniac gives us the option to choose.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be released on October 20, 2023 exclusively to the PlayStation 5.
