You may find that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 may look a little off when it comes to HDR and brightness. Some scenes may look too dark while others appear to be overly bright. The graphics may seem washed out as well.

You can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can fix the color display issues in this open-world superhero game.

1. For the first step, we recommend that you head to the Settings menu of your PS5. From there, select Screen and Video > Video Output. Next, make sure that HDR is set to On When Supported or Always On and then select Adjust HDR.

Finally, follow the instructions that appear on the next three screens to calibrate the white and black output levels.

2. If the visuals still do not look quite right, then you can open the in-game Settings menu in Spider-Man 2. From there, select Visual.

In the Visual Settings screen, you will be able to adjust the in-game Brightness and Contrast sliders. Both of which are set to 50 by default.

You may need to constantly adjust these settings when going from a brighter area to a darker one or vice versa.

3. You can also try playing the game in SDR instead of HDR. In order to do so, open the Settings menu of your PS5 and then go to Screen and Video > Video Output. Afterwards, make sure that HDR is set to Off.

4. If possible, you can also try connecting your PS5 to another TV or monitor. Some screens are better at handling HDR and/or SDR when compared to others.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 uses adaptive resistance as you may feel extra resistance when pressing down on the L2 and R2 buttons of the DualSense. To see how you can disable this feature in the superhero game, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. The adaptive trigger feature cannot be turned off from the in-game Settings menu. Instead, you need to do it on a system level.

So, for the first step, you need to press and hold the PS button to bring up the home screen.

2. From there, select the gear cog icon.

3. In the Settings menu of your PS5 console, scroll down and select Accessories.

4. From the Accessories screen, select Controller (General) from the left column and then Trigger Effect Intensity on the right side.

5. In the drop-down menu, you should see the following choices:

• Off
• Weak
• Medium
• Strong (Standard)

To completely disable adaptive triggers in Spider-Man 2 and every other PS5 game, you need to select Off. If you want to keep the resistance but make the effect less noticeable, then you can select Weak or Medium instead.

6. After changing the Trigger Effect Intensity setting, you can back out of the system menus and then open Spider-Man 2 again.

If you keep forgetting to heal constantly in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, then you might want to consider turning on automatic healing. To see how you can enable this helpful feature, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

2. From the Settings menu, you need to select Gameplay.

3. Once you get to the Gameplay Settings screen, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Auto-Heal. You should see the following description:

When enabled, if a full Focus Bar is available, use it to automatically Heal when under the specified amount of health.

4. By default, the Auto-Heal is set to Off. You will be able to change it to any of the following:

• 10%
• 30%
• 50%

Depending on how you set up the Auto-Heal seeing, Spider-Man will heal himself if his health drops to 10%, 30% or 50% as long as there is a full Focus Bar.

DualSense rumble is enabled by default in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. You can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can adjust when the controller will vibrate, how strong it will vibrate and/or turn off haptic feedback altogether.

1. For the first step, you need to head over to the Settings menu.

2. From there, select Controls.

3. In the Controls Settings screen, move the cursor down to Vibration Setting.

To turn off haptic feedback completely, set Vibration Setting to Off.

4. If you decide to set the aforementioned Vibration Setting to Experiential or Functional, then you can use the Vibration Intensity slider to adjust how strong you want the rumble to feel.

The intensity is set to 10, which is the strongest, by default, you will be able to decrease it all the way down to 1.
