Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is getting even more suits, including some designer outfits for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales that will hit the game for free on June 18.

In a PlayStation blog, developer Insomniac Games detailed the eight new suits, four of which were made in partnership with fashion mogul and designer Colm “KidSuper” Dillane and other celebrities. One Miles suit, called the “Metro Suit,” is a solo KidSuper effort that also comes with three additional variant colors and a top reminiscent of a puffer jacket.

Formula One driver Lando Norris, singer Rina Sawayama, and football athlete Vinícius Júnior also collaborated with KidSuper and Sony on their own suits that reflect a part of their personas, heritage, or sense of style. Júnior’s utilizes the Brazilian colors, while Sawayama’s for Peter makes him look like he’s about to hop on a motorcycle.

The other four suits bring in some familiar styles from outside the video game universe. Both Peter and Miles get Into the Spider-Verse-inspired suits (Miles’ is even animated), for example, and Miles is getting his Uptown Pride suit from the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales standalone DLC.

The first Spider-Man game featured a ton of suits to choose from, but its sequel really upped the catalog size (there are suits for both Miles and Peter after all).

The update — referred to as version 1.003.000 — will also feature some changes based on “community feedback” and some general “stability improvements,” including the ability to switch around Symbiote and Spider Arms for traversal and parrying.

I own a PlayStation 5 Pro. It still hasn’t replaced my regular old PS5

A PS5 slim, PS5 Pro, and base PS5 all stand next to each other.

When I first got my PlayStation 5 Pro, I had a whirlwind first week with it. I spent days on end testing as many games as I could to determine how much of an upgrade it really was over my base PS5. I looked at five-minute chunks of games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for hours, comparing every graphics mode on both systems. At the end of my PS5 vs. PS5 Pro testing, the result was clear: The PS5 Pro was indeed the more powerful console and, frankly, the most capable gaming device I had in my entire home.

So why, just two weeks later, am I still using my regular old PS5 so much?

Your video game consoles could become much more expensive soon

People have a lot of questions about what a second Donald Trump presidential administration will look like, and one of the big concerns surrounds proposed tariffs on foreign imports, with larger ones targeted for China. If these are passed, it could signal a big change in how video game hardware and software is manufactured and could lead to increased costs for players.

Digital Trends spoke to analysts about the potential impact that tariffs could have on tech like game consoles. As of this writing, the proposal is to implement a 10% or 20% tariff on all imports, but a specific 60% tariff on Chinese imports. Some analysts we reached out to declined to comment on the impact of the tariffs because while Trump has discussed a plan, it hasn't gone into effect and might not. Others, like Serkan Toto of Japanese games industry consulting firm Kantan, warned that consumers could be the ones paying the cost if plans go into effect.

Oh hey, GTA 5 is back on PlayStation Plus this month

November's PlayStation Plus lineup is packed with games this month, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon (hopefully sometime next year), arguably the biggest addition is Grand Theft Auto 5, which is back on the subscription service after leaving earlier this year.

There's not much to say about GTA 5 that hasn't already been said. It's one of the bestselling games of all time and still holds up more than 10 years after release. It's likely you already own it on some platform, but if you somehow don't or just want to play it on the PlayStation 5 or 4, you can play it for free with an Extra or Premium subscription.
