Everything included in the Spider-Man 2 1.002 update

The highlight of the Spider-Man 2 1.002 update is the addition of New Game+, allowing players to replay the game with all suits, abilities, and other unlocks carried over. But you can also replay your favorite missions—giving you another chance to play as Venom.

Ultimate Levels, Golden Gadget Styles, and new Suits are also being added to the game, with Hellfire Gala suits available for Peter and Miles for no additional charge. There is also the release of DLC, with early access to the Fly N’ Fresh suits for $4.99, with 100 percent of the purchase price being donated to Gameheads. If you don’t want to purchase those two suits, they will both be available for free at a later date.

The update also includes major updates for accessibility and updates to Photo Mode, including action figure mode, stickers, and the ability to change the time of day once the story is complete to allow you to take the perfect shot.
