Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered gets DualSense features, DLSS support on PC

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is less than a month away from swinging to PC, and Sony has revealed some new features on the PlayStation Blog that players will experience when they get the game. Two of the port’s most notable features are its PlayStation DualSense integration and Nvidia DLSS support.

DLSS is an acronym for “deep learning super sampling,” and it’s responsible for enhancing the graphical performance of a PC game, boosting its frame rates and resolution without compromising image quality or taxing the graphics card in the process. However, DLSS does this with the help of a dedicated Tensor Core A.I. processor that can only be found in GeForce RTX GPUs.

The “super sampling” part is an anti-aliasing method that smooths out the jagged edges that show up in a rendered image. In other words, the pixelated parts of buildings or characters that may have originally shown up in the original PS4 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man will be softened up by DLSS in the remastered PC version.

For those who prefer to play Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered with a wireless controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, the game supports the use of the PS5 DualSense controller. This way, they can get the full PS5 experience with adaptive trigger feedback and haptic response as they swing around New York City and go toe to toe with Spidey’s biggest foes.

The PC version will get several other key features, including ray-tracing, ultrawide monitor support, and more graphical options. Sony released a spec chart for the title, showing that the game is capable of hitting 60 frames per second at 4K.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has a new release window. According to a new PlayStation Blog post, the upcoming superhero game will launch sometime in 2023.

We haven't heard much about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 since it was first announced with a teaser trailer. All we knew was that it would launch sometime in 2023. According to developer Insomniac, we now know it'll launch in time for the holidays, barring delays.

PlayStation’s Spider-Man cameos in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse trailer

In a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo, Insomniac Games' version of Spider-Man appears in the new trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
In the trailer, we get a look at a hub where dozens of different versions of Spider-Man are hanging out and working together. This is where you can see what appears to be Insomniac's version of Spider-Man, as he is walking and talking to another Spider-Man in a black-and-red suit. The suit design is slightly different, with red patches on its legs, but otherwise, this character looks just like the Spider-Man from 2018's PS4 game. Could this be our first look at new versions of Peter and Miles' suits in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, or is Sony Pictures Animations just taking some creative liberties? Only time will tell. 

It's unknown if Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will reference or set up this appearance. It's unlikely that Insomniac's Spider-Man will have much bearing on the narrative of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse -- chances are that this is little more than a cameo. Lots of Spider-Men will appear in this film, and a bunch of them are seen chasing Miles at the end. Twitter, in particular, seems pretty happy that the Spider-Man Unlimited version of Peter Parker is seen chasing Miles. Regardless, it's cool to see one of the most recent video game interpretations of the character represented in a Spider-Man film.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will hit theaters on June 2, 2023. Meanwhile, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is slated to be released for PlayStation 5 sometime next year. A page for the game appeared on the PlayStation Store earlier this week, but was taken down.

The one setting that deflates playing Spider-Man Miles Morales on PC
A comparison of a finisher move in Spider-Man Miles Morales.

Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales is available on PC, following up on the smash success of the base game, Marvel's Spider-Man, on PC earlier this year. Like the original release, Miles Morales is packed with the latest PC gaming tech and smoothly polished to run on different hardware. It's a great PC port. Except for DLSS 3 Frame Generation, that is.

Nvidia's latest upscaling tech joins Intel XeSS and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) in Miles Morales. They're all great upscaling options, but the unique frame-generation capabilities of DLSS 3 are a sore point. If you plan on picking up Miles Morales on PC, make sure to keep DLSS Frame Generation turned off to avoid an occasional mess of AI image generation.
