The problem here is that the option is only available in the PlayStation 5 version of the game, as it’s not in the PlayStation 4 port. Perhaps it is Insomniac Games‘ method to make us push towards getting the new Sony console.

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games have released a new patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The 262 MB update, 1.007.001 (what kind of version numbering method is this? the PlayStation 5 also gets almost inexplicable new firmware numbers…), gives us a new graphical option. On PlayStation 5, you can switch between resolution and performance. In case you want the highest frame rates possible, you can go for performance, but if you’d rather prefer a crisp 4K resolution, you can pick that option instead.

The new option is called Performance RT. This is the new version of Performance mode, which allows us to get sixty frames per second frame rate, while it also provides ray tracing on the screen. However, the new graphical feature needs sacrifices, so you will see Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales adjust the scene resolution, the reflection quality, and the pedestrian density.

Nowadays, ray tracing is a quite common graphical trend, used by several recent games, including Cyberpunk 2077 (where CD Projekt RED has published no less than three PC RT system requirements, we discussed this a few days ago), and we previously recall talking about someone saying that a few developers will use it as a fad. The technology has been only available on PC until the arrival of the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series X, and the Xbox Series S. (Except for Crytek’s incredible software ray tracing for Crysis Remastered on PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X!)

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is now available on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
