Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn’t the only Spidey game to receive an update this week. Insomniac Games have also fired out a new patch for Spider-Man Remastered – their beautifully beefed up PS5 edition of the best-selling PlayStation exclusive.

Powering on your PS5 with a copy of the game installed, you will have spotted a download notification for Spider-Man Remastered 1.003. There are no official patch notes for the update, though players have reported that it has fixed a persistent problem since the game launched last November.

As one Reddit user reports, “the remaster would interrupt the momentum of your swinging if you would pull on the left stick while doing the Moonsault, Helix, and Flying Helix air tricks. This has now been fixed to not have the swinging momentum be affected by the direction of the left stick during air tricks.” Another user who had previously flagged the air trick bug has since updated their post to say it’s been fixed after Spider-Man Remastered 1.003 dropped. Excelsior!

We gave Spider-Man: Miles Morales 8/10 in our review. “Spider-Man: Miles Morales feels like more of a sequel than it is a stopgap, entangling players within its web of cleverly refined mechanics while delivering some familiar web-slinging thrills,” said Jim. “A heroic technical showcase for PS5 owners picking up their consoles on day one, this meaty side story in the Spider-Man saga has us even more excited than before to see what Insomniac Games have planned next.”

So far we don’t have solid confirmation of when Spider-Man 2 will be coming but at least we have some clues as to the direction of the sequel’s story (watch out for spoilers). Right now, Insomniac Games are no doubt going flat out on the development of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. It claimed seventh place in our list of top 50 most wanted games of 2021.
