Ever since the release of Marvel's Spider-Man earlier this year, fans of the PlayStation 4 exclusive have been almost incessantly petitioning the developer Insomniac Games to add the suit from Sam Raimi's film trilogy for the Webhead to wear in the game. Now, it looks as if Christmas has come a little early for Spider-Fans, with the studio having confirmed that the costume from the movies is available via a fresh update.

According to a recent tweet from Insomniac Games, the Sam Raimi Spider-Man suit is being offered as a special holiday gift by way of a free update today for everyone who owns a copy of the PS4 title. While it's obviously a matter of opinion as to which outfit in the game best fits Peter Parker and the tone of the release as a whole, there's no doubt that the developer deciding to add the Sam Raimi suit is a great instance of fan service that should be commended.

For those who haven't been keeping up with all of the latest content updates to Spider-Man, there are over 35 different costumes that Peter Parker can don while fighting crime in the game's take on an open world New York City. Just prior to the addition of the Sam Raimi suit, in fact, Insomniac released the third and final part of The City That Never Sleeps DLC, which features three different suits, including a film tie-in for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

All things considered, it's great to see Insomniac Games serve up one of the most fan-requested suits for Spider-Man, especially with there being such a glut of other wonderful skin selections to choose from within the entire history of the Marvel character. With this being the case, it will be interesting to see if the developer continues to populate the PS4 exclusive with even more costumes well into the future.

Marvel's Spider-Man is available now for PlayStation 4.
