Overview
- Insomniac released hotfix v1.005.001 for Marvel’s Spider‑Man 2 on Friday, August 7, 2026, and the patch is available now for PS5 and PS5 Pro players.
- The hotfix corrected the Fresh Start (Brand New Day) suit’s visual errors by deepening reds, removing an unwanted sheen on the red brick pattern, restoring missing lens textures and fixing emoting eyes in Photo Mode.
- The patch also re-enabled battle‑damage behavior so the Fresh Start suit shows wear at lower health like other costumes.
- Players first reported shimmering, incorrect colors and missing textures after the July 28 v1.005.000 update added the Fresh Start suit, and community side‑by‑side comparisons prompted the rapid follow‑up fix.
- Insomniac director James Stevenson said PC players will receive the same corrections later, and the fix follows a pattern of quick, platform‑staggered updates as the studio continues live support and prepares for future releases.
