Spider-Man: Miles Morales will have a 4K/60fps mode on PlayStation 5

One of the big surprise announcements during Sony's recent PS5 unveiling was Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a smaller, standalone game based in Insomniac's Spider-Man universe. We haven't seen much of the game outside of an initial teaser trailer, but slowly, more details are being shared- with the latest announcement being a 4K/60fps mode on PS5. 

There will be two performance profiles for Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 5. The first is, just as you would expect, a 4K/30 mode. The other, unlocks the frame rate, allowing for up to 60 frames per second gameplay:

Spider-Man on PS4 was locked at 30 frames per second across both the base console and the PS4 Pro. While the frame pacing was solid, a 60 frames per second version sounds like an absolute dream, particularly for those who are used to gaming on PCs and only occasionally play console exclusives.

So far, this is only confirmed for Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5. However, we can hope that the original Spider-Man for PS4 also gets a frame rate bump should Insomniac be looking to update it to take better advantage of the PlayStation 5.

KitGuru Says: Anyone picking up a PS5 this holiday season is likely also going to be grabbing this as a launch title. Given all the web-swinging and acrobatics, this game should play incredibly well at a higher frame rate too, which is bound to make a good first impression for the PS5 generation.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
