Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is now available to play on PlayStation 5. However, before you enjoy the web-slinging and swinging, you should optimize the title's graphics settings. While many options from the previous games remain unchanged, a few tweaks can be made to Spider-Man 2's graphics settings for better immersion. This article will help players optimize their gaming experience.
Best graphics settings for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for an elevated experience
As gamers hop on Marvel's Spider-Man 2, they can swing through New York City once again as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The game is only available on PlayStation 5 and offers two graphic modes to choose from, Fidelity and Performance, both of which offer ray tracing.
With that in mind, the recommended graphics settings for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 can be found below:
Visual settings
- Fullscreen Effects: On
- Graphics Mode: Performance
- VRR: Smoothed
- 120 Hz Display Mode: On (If the monitor is not 120 Hz, turn it off)
- HDR: On
Marvel's Spider-Man 2's default settings use the Fidelity Mode, which focuses on graphics and locks this title at 30 FPS and a max resolution of 4K. To fully enjoy the game while utilizing the PS5's hardware, this mode is worth considering. However, the game can maintain a steady 60 FPS in Performance Mode, where the resolution ranges from 1080p to a maximum of 1440p.
In these modes, Spider-Man 2 can achieve higher framerates, thanks to its support for 120 Hz and VRR. Three options for the VRR mode are available: Uncapped, Smoothed, or Off. Opting for a Smoothed experience will prioritize a stable framerate while maintaining resolution.
In contrast, opting for Uncapped will trade resolution for a higher frame rate. The Fidelity Mode can achieve a maximum of 40 FPS in this setting. On the other hand, enabling Uncapped in Performance can yield 70 to 80 FPS. Hence, if your display supports 120 Hz, using Uncapped will boost the frame rates in both modes.
To make your experience even more interesting, you'll need to adjust a couple of PS5 settings. Visit the PS5's Settings option, then head to Screen and Video, and activate Automatic ALLM in Video Output. Doing so will enable you to appreciate minimal latency while enjoying your gameplay in Spider-Man 2.
