There is no extra to pay as far as I can tell. Quite a few titles became available though through their deal. Some things don’t stay forever though I noticed AC Valhalla came and went.

I have a question on Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales. I note there are a number of performance/fidelity modes but the VRR/120hz modes are confusing me a tad. I have a TV that can do 120hz, my question is there any reason why I wouldn't run the 120hz mode (e.g. is the game sacrificing resolution to achieve a higher fps, or is essentially just removing the fps cap)?
I understand the resolutions aren't fixed but what I'm wondering is if the 120hz mode sacrifices rez even more to try and boost the framerate? Tbh I can't really tell looking at it myself but it's annoying me not knowing
Many thanks

For a single player game, I'm not sure why you wouldn't run it in quality mode
Spiderman has to be played in 60fps.
Once you swing through new York at 60fps, changing back to the fidelity/30fps mode feels like going back to PS3 days.

This should help. I skipped large parts of the video as i don't have a 120hz TV, but I think the TLDR is that the best mode is 120hz with VRR turned on which makes it 40fps with best possible quality.

Even putting aside story continuity reasons, If you didnt finsih the previous game, surely it would be crazy to buy the next one?
I think both previous spiderman games were truly excellent, but it seems crazy to buy the newest ones if you seemingly werent convinced by the previous installments.
I would suggest complete the original spiderman now.
Play miles morales at christmas because it is kind of a christmas game, snow in nyc etc
and play spidey 2 at some point in the future

Sorry I fell for it - assuming by now that a performance/120hz option would actually mean 120fps

I found the same trying forbidden West. Even on my 6 year old oled, the quality mode was too jarring. It obviously looked better, but I prefer smooth gameplay (just not the SOE smoothSorry I fell for it - assuming by now that a performance/120hz option would actually mean 120fps
).There's a world of difference between 30 and 40fps on a VRR-enabled OLED, surely that's why they mean by quality mode. Quality mode at 30fps? No, thanks
@theone8181 If you try 30fps on oled, it's actually going to feel even worse than usual due to the panel's amazing response time and clarity of motion which will make the framerate appear even less smooth because the transitions between frames are more visible.
40 fps feels a lot closer to 60fps and it's unlocked anyways, with a noticeable bump in image clarity.
I played through both previous games on 40fps vrr and it felt pretty great.
Not picking up 2 on release though because I got burned out on some of the subpar open world stuff and the general gameplay loop started to get too repetitive later on but I'll still get it because it's Spidey
It's Tekken 8 all weekend anyways so time to bring out my arcade stick

60fps for me! As good/smooth as 40fps feels over 30fps, I still really much prefer playing at 60.
Actually I’ll play it by ear. Might run it at 60 in the end. But my tv has decent VRR I think
Soldato
40 fps with the uncapped frame rate for me.

Same for me. DigitalFoundry said that's the best way to play it.

I'll let you know once I buy a newer OLED that supports HDMI 2.1 and VRR
I mean i'm sure 40 is better than 30, but I've never really seen 40 to experience it with my own eyes. I think Youtube only supports 30, 60 and 120.
p.s. I didn't even know Tekken 8 is upon us, thought it was next year.
Next Gen, promise!Sorry I fell for it - assuming by now that a performance/120hz option would actually mean 120fps

. Although I did play through hogwarts on my C2 and felt the same. It's the downside of cutting edge I guess. Far less noticeable when watching actual TV though rather than games.
