Insomniac's latest Spider-Man: Miles Morales update adds ray tracing at 60fps Courtesy of a new Performance RT Mode. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 10 Dec 2020 55 comments Spider-Man: Miles Morales players on PS5 will no longer face the tricky choice between 60fps fluidity and the aesthetic delights of ray tracing, thanks to a new patch from developer Insomniac that finally allows both together, albeit with some caveats. Insomniac's latest update - formally known as patch 1.007 - is available now and introduces a third PS5 graphics mode option to complement the existing (30fps with ray tracing enabled) Fidelity Mode and (no ray tracing at 60fps) Performance Mode; now, players can select Performance RT Mode, which ushers in the coveted blend of ray tracing at 60fps. #PS5Share, #MarvelsSpiderManMilesMorales New RT 60fps mode in Miles Morales pic.twitter.com/cL7YdjdNeK- ᖴO͞᙭Ẽ̟͐͛ᑎ̩̊ͅG̭͘IᑎE̲̙ͪ (@f0x_engine) December 9, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Watch on YouTube Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Digital Foundry Tech Review. While Performance RT Mode is currently only available in Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 5, players have already begun querying whether the same visual tweaks might eventually make their way to Insomniac's gorgeous PS5 remaster of the original Spider-Man. Although the developer hasn't exactly answered in the affirmative, Insomniac's community director James Stevenson did offer up a Thinking Face emoji in response to a query about 60fps and ray tracing coming to the Spider-Man remaster on Twitter - a reply also pointed in the direction of Digital Foundry's John Linneman. Hopefully that counts as a positive sign. ?- James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) December 9, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

"Insomniac's second crack at Spider-Man," wrote Martin Robinson in his Eurogamer Recommended review, "retains the breathless energy of the original, but ends up a lot like Miles Morales himself - still fresh on its feet, a little awkward in places, but steadily growing into itself. It's a game that's full of character, and a tremendously likeable one it is too."
