Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC is all set to release later today in India at 8:30 PM IST (via Steam). Ahead of the release, Sony has detailed the features of Spider-Man 2 for PC including support for NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Ray tracing, and more. The game will be available in Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition.
On PC, you’ll encounter a variety of new ray-tracing options with individual quality settings to finetune performance and fidelity across a broad range of hardware configurations. Ray-traced reflections quickly catch your eye in the skyscraper-filled city of Marvel’s New York as you swing along its many glass surfaces. Meanwhile, Nixxes will also be offering ray-traced interiors, shadows, and ambient occlusion options that add an additional layer of believability with realistic shadows and increased depth to the game.
If you have a high-performance PC with high-end hardware, you can take advantage of the increased raytracing geometry detail setting. This enables the use of higher quality meshes for raytracing, resulting in more detailed and realistic reflections. You can also use the raytracing object range slider to increase the range at which objects are considered for raytracing. Furthermore, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC includes NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction, which improves raytracing quality on supported hardware.
The developer has included two models of NVIDIA’s Ray Reconstruction, the original model introduced in DLSS 3.5, and a newly improved model designed for RTX 40 series GPUs and newer. This new model results in an overall more temporally stable image, further improving the visual quality of raytracing.
