In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, suits are primarily cosmetic. Suit Powers from the first game are now integrated as unlockable abilities or tied to Suit Tech upgrades. Many suits come with multiple 'Suit Styles' (color variants) that can be unlocked.
• Suit Tech Upgrades (Health, Damage, Focus, Traversal): Players use Tech Parts and Rare Tech Parts to purchase universal Suit Tech upgrades. These upgrades are divided into categories (Health, Damage, Focus, Traversal) and provide passive stat boosts or enhancements that apply to whichever suit Peter or Miles is currently wearing. This system replaces individual suit powers from the first game.

• Civilian Attire (Contextual): During certain story segments where Peter or Miles are not in their Spider-Man suits, they wear civilian clothing. This is not directly customizable by the player.

Progression is built around a comprehensive roguelite garage economy. Players accumulate Credits and Scrap from race placements, rival takedowns, and side bets to invest in modular upgrades across five mechanical systems: Repulsor Coils (handling, lateral drift stability, ceiling adhesion), Thruster Manifolds (top speed, acceleration curve, boost efficiency), Hull Plating (impact absorption, ramming mass, EMP deflection), Heat Sinks (cooling dissipation, overcharge threshold), and Combat Hardpoints (countermeasure deployment, seismic mines, disruptor bursts). Over a million distinct configuration permutations let players tailor their craft as light agile speeders or armored battering rams.

Tracks span six distinct, hyper-detailed Star Wars planetary environments designed with dynamic branching paths, hazardous terrain, and verticality. Locales include the rusted industrial scrap shipyards of Corellia, the treacherous crimson salt-flats and crystalline ravines of Crait, the dense canopy and root tunnels of Kashyyyk, the cloud-city atmospheric exhaust pylons of Bespin, the volcanic magma tubes of Sullust, and the neon-lit casino city outskirts and canyon rifts of Canto Bight. Dynamic track events such as seismic sandstorms, falling Imperial wreckage, and native fauna stampedes force pilots to adjust their racing lines in real time.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features an expanded open-world New York City, roughly twice the size of the map in the first game. It includes all of Manhattan from the previous titles, plus two new boroughs: Queens (Peter's home borough, featuring residential areas like Astoria) and Brooklyn (Miles' home borough, featuring areas like Williamsburg and Coney Island). The map is incredibly detailed, with seamless transitions between boroughs via bridges or web-swinging/gliding. Traversal is significantly enhanced with the addition of Web Wings for gliding and Slingshot Launch for rapid forward momentum.

Leveraging Unreal Engine 5's Nanite and Lumen systems, the game delivers photorealistic sci-fi racing fidelity. Visual highlights include dynamic dust clouds kicked up by repulsor downdrafts, red-hot glowing turbine exhaust manifolds, real-time vehicle deformation with tearing metal panels, and ray-traced reflections on chrome chassis and rain-soaked tracks.

Powered by Insomniac Games' proprietary engine, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 showcases stunning visuals on the PlayStation 5. It features incredibly detailed character models, lifelike animations, a densely populated and realistic New York City, and advanced lighting and reflection effects (including extensive ray tracing options for reflections and shadows). Offers various graphics modes (Fidelity for max visuals/RT at 30FPS, Performance for 60FPS with dynamic resolution/less RT, and modes for 120Hz displays with VRR).

Features an authentic Star Wars soundscape combining the iconic sound design of Ben Burtt with aggressive modern industrial electronic rock and orchestral brass. Thrusters howl with deep resonant thrumming, repulsors whine when scraping tarmac, and collisions deliver thunderous metallic crunches. The dynamic score reacts dynamically to race position, surging into frantic orchestral crescendos when drafting in first place or surviving critical hull damage.

Original score composed by John Paesano, featuring heroic orchestral themes for both Spider-Men, intense action cues, and emotional character motifs. The soundtrack dynamically shifts with gameplay. Sound design is immersive, with distinct web-swinging sounds, impactful combat effects, unique sounds for Symbiote and Venom powers, and the bustling ambience of New York City.

Utilizes a crisp, immersive in-cockpit and chase-camera diegetic HUD designed to emulate Star Wars aerospace instrumentation. Features Aurebesh-inspired velocity meters, turbine heat gauges, real-time hull integrity wireframes, drafting slipstream vectors, and syndicate sponsor bounty pop-ups. Fully customizable UI elements allow toggling speedometer units and disabling overlays for cinematic capture.

Features a clean and dynamic HUD displaying health, Focus meter (for finishers/healing), gadget/ability cooldowns, and contextual prompts. A mini-map aids navigation. The main menu provides access to the map, missions, character (skills, suits, gadgets), collectibles, and settings. The FNSM App is used for side activities and requests. Photo Mode is robust.

Includes extensive motor and visual accessibility options: one-touch auto-acceleration and steering assist, customizable collision bounce-back margins, full controller and keyboard remapping, colorblind visual filters for racing lines and hazard markers, screen shake and motion blur sliders, high-contrast UI modes, and scalable subtitles with speaker identification.

Offers a wide range of accessibility options, building on Insomniac's previous efforts. Includes customizable controls, extensive subtitle and caption options, options to simplify QTEs, aim assist, options for puzzle timing, high contrast modes for shaders, audio cues for collectibles and combat, gameplay speed modifiers (slow down game speed), and more.

• Built natively in Unreal Engine 5 leveraging Nanite virtualized geometry and Lumen dynamic global illumination. The PC version features unlocked frame rates, ultrawide (21:9 / 32:9) display support, full force-feedback racing wheel and controller support, and comprehensive shader pre-compilation on first launch.
