Tom Holland's suit finally hit Spider-Man 2 — and it's not alone
On July 28, 2026, update v1.005.000 dropped for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and honestly? The news surprised me way more than I expected. Not because they added one suit, but because they added two at the same time — and one of them is from Tom Holland's brand new film that just hit theaters on July 31, 2026, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
The Two New Suits: Full Breakdown
The first suit is called "Fresh Start" and it's straight from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland. The design really is something special: red and blue colors that lean into classic comic book vibes, with raised webbing running across the whole body, and genuinely visible web-shooters on the wrists. The suit blends the technical details from Tom's previous films with a more open comic book aesthetic — and I'm into it because it feels like it belongs in both the game and the movies at the same time.
The second suit comes from the fighting game Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, which dropped on August 6, 2026 — Insomniac threw in a Spider-Man version of that suit too, just to expand your options.
That's Not All: Technical Upgrades and More
The v1.005.000 update itself added way more than just costumes. Insomniac rolled out Enhanced PSSR support on PlayStation 5 Pro for anyone who grabbed the new console, plus they added Power Saver mode for people who want to dial down their power consumption. This shows the studio actually cares about performance and technical options, not just slapping content into the game.
Here's the Thing Though...
And this is the part I caught: right after the Tom Holland suit went live, players started complaining about how it looked. They were saying the colors and materials didn't match the film closely enough — like the suit didn't quite feel like it belonged.
And then Insomniac did something that honestly impressed me: within days, they pushed a follow-up patch, v1.005.001, specifically to fix the suit. They tweaked the colors and materials to nail the film's look way more accurately, and they added battle damage effects so it actually gets worn and torn like every other suit in the game does during fights. That tells me the studio actually listened to players instead of just ignoring the feedback.
Is It Worth Downloading?
If you're into Tom Holland or you're following the new Spider-Man films, then you need to grab this update. After the fixes, the suit looks solid, and honestly? There's nothing like swinging through New York feeling like you're literally playing straight from the new movie.
But even if you're not hardcore into the films, the update is completely free. Zero cost, no paywall, nothing. The worst that happens is you download two extra suits you might not use — and that's not really a problem.
In my opinion, Insomniac gets it: Spider-Man players want that seamless feeling between the game and the films. Every update like this pulls the game closer to being a real extension of the cinematic universe. And the fact that they're actually listening to the community and coordinating these additions? That matters.
I'd say grab the update if you're playing Spider-Man 2 on PS5. Even if you don't jump into those new suits right away, the patch adds real value between the costumes and the technical improvements — and there's zero reason to regret downloading something free.
