Insomniac Games integrated Sony's AI-powered PSSR upscaling technology into its PS5 Pro updates for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and separately integrated NVIDIA DLSS into the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
Details
In November 2024, Insomniac deployed PS5 Pro support updates for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, both using Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology. PSSR is an AI-based upscaling system that renders games at a lower internal resolution and uses machine learning to reconstruct a higher-quality 4K image. Core Technology Director Mike Fitzgerald confirmed the Spider-Man 2 PS5 Pro update in an official PlayStation.com statement. Separately, Insomniac integrated NVIDIA DLSS (including DLSS 4 with the Transformer model as of Patch 10 in May 2025) into the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, providing AI-based upscaling and frame generation options for PC players.
