Best Graphics Settings and Controls

A list of the best graphical settings in Spider-Man 2 (PS5). Read on to learn what settings to change to get the best gameplay experience, from graphics modes to accessibility presets and more!

Best Graphics and Visual Settings

*120 HZ Display Mode only works if you are using a 120Hz compatible monitor.

Set Graphics Mode to Performance

Setting Graphics Mode to Performance lets you play the game at 60 FPS. This gives you a smoother gameplay experience at the cost of simplified ray-tracing effects, lesser pedestrian and traffic density, and less detailed hair on the characters.

If you prefer the highest image quality and resolution at the cost of playing at 30 FPS, choose Fidelty Graphics Mode instead. This mode activates all ray-tracing effects and all graphics settings are at maximum.

Set VRR to Smoothed

VRR refers to variable refresh frame which utilizes the console's capability of displaying improved resolution or frame rate based on gameplay.

Selecting Smoothed will maintain resolution and target a steady framerate. On the other hand, Uncapped will allow lower resolutions to target higher frame rates.

Turn On 120 HZ Display Mode

Turning on 120 HZ Display Mode lets you increase your frame rate and reduce input lag. Combine this with Performance Graphics Mode and Smoothed VRR to experience a smooth gameplay experience with minimal FPS drops.

Note that this setting is only usable if you are using a monitor that can display at 120Hz.

Turn Off Chromatic Aberration

Chromatic Aberration is a distortion effect that creates a blurry rainbow outline when colors appear slightly shifted and out of focus. It is mainly used as a stylistic effect but may cause dizziness for some players.

It is recommended to turn off Chromatic Aberration to reduce this distortion effect.

Turn Off Film Grain

Film Grain adds a subtle grain effect on the game's presentation to simulate an old film effect in games.

This is generally disabled in games unless it can be used to match the game's overall look and feel such as when playing a game set in the past.

Turn On Chase Assist

Chase Assist is a setting that lowers the chase target's top movement speed giving you a longer window of time before the target escapes.

In addition, enabling this option automatically attaches you to the chase target's vehicle when in range.

Turn Off Motion Blur

Motion Blur adds a blurring effect by the camera's motion and fast moving objects to add more realism to the game's presentation.
