The PlayStation 5 Pro doesn’t officially release until 7 November, but various studios are already offering glimpses at what their games will look like running on the kit.
That includesInsomniac Gameswhich has dropped a brand new trailer showcasingMarvel’s Spider-Man2’sPlayStation 5 Proupgrade.
It’s a game that’s attracted some heat in recent weeks.

It’s clear from playingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s side quests that both Carnage and Chameleon were likely to appear in any potential expansions, possibly alongside the idea of the Spider-Verse.
Insomniac’s major leak last year then confirmed as much, with three DLC follow-ups coming to light.
As feared though, it appears that they’ve been cancelled most likely as a result of said leak.

It’s a great shame but we can only hope the ideas are used in the next mainline game.
In the meantime, those nabbing a PlayStation 5 Pro will be able to enjoy a new and improvedMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, but the footage released so far hasn’t exactly dazzled fans.
Take a look at the PlayStation 5 Pro enhanced version ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2below.

In general,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2will run at a much greater fidelity which, in a game like this, will particularly add welcomed detail as players look towards the horizon while they swing across New York City.

The question is though, is such a subtle upgrade worth £700? Many Spidey fans think not.

“Yeah. I already played that game. Show us new games,”addedDeepcookiz.
“Honestly I struggle to see much of a difference even watching on 4K TV,”commentedShadiezz2018.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is certainly a console that offers a subtle upgrade.
Impressive? Yes, but subtle - and it doesn’t come with a subtle price tag, so winning the masses over could be an uphill battle.
