Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 5 will feature ray-traced reflections in puddles, finally putting the original game's "Puddlegate" to rest.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
The new Spider-Man: Miles Morales game for PlayStation 5 will feature ray tracing in its puddles and more as part of the engine's visual upgrades from PS4, thus adding a final page to the ridiculous saga of "Puddlegate." Back in 2018, on the lead-up to the release of Spider-Man on PlayStation 4, a far-fetched controversy emerged, which came to be called Puddlegate. Back when Spider-Man first launched, fans noticed a visual difference compared to the game's earlier showings to the press. In a certain area of the game, there were many puddles showing off cube-mapped reflections of the game world. In the final release, though, the amount of puddles were drastically reduced, leading some to believe the PS4 couldn't handle the advanced puddle technology of Insomniac's superhero opus.

Regardless, the hubbub died down once players got their hands on the game and could cease being distracted by nonsense topics like Puddlegate. Now, with the looming release of the PlayStation 5 and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, some are questioning if the new standalone game will utilize the same reflection technology as the original, or if it will employ more high-end solutions like ray tracing.
How puddles work in Spider-Man: Miles Morales
How puddles work in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. On Twitter, Greg Miller asked Insomniac's community director, James Stevenson, about how puddles work in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, to which Stevenson replied, "They are ray-traced now." Provided he wasn't joking in his answer - and there's no real reason to suspect he was - this means the reflections in the puddles will not be pre-determined art or limited to what is already visible on the player's screen. Instead, they will be produced in real-time via the magic of ray tracing, which simulates real-world properties of light and its interaction with surfaces.
