Insomniac’s smash-hit masterwork Spider-Man 2 has crossed another important threshold, cementing its place as one of the fastest-selling first-party PS5 titles to date.
Spider-Man 2 has already surpassed 5 million units sold
The release of Spider-Man 2 was truly spectacular, selling a record-breaking 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours alone. In less than a month that number has doubled, demonstrating the immense popularity and demand for the game.
Insomniac is committed to improving the player experience and a new patch has been released to address minor performance issues. In addition, there has been talk of a potential Venom spin-off, a possibility that depends on the desires of the dedicated fanbase.
This success is part of a broader trend in Sony’s gaming division, where first-party titles are thriving. The company’s comprehensive second quarter financial report sheds light on the impressive performance of various titles under Sony’s umbrella. God of War Ragnarok, for example, sold 11 million copies, while Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart sold 1.1 million units.
There’s no denying that Spider-Man 2 is a windfall for Sony, and fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming year. Exciting movies on the horizon include the highly anticipated Kraven the Hunter movie and the intriguing untitled Venom movie, both set for release in 2024.
All in all, Spider-Man 2’s phenomenal sales figures are a testament to the quality of the game and the enduring appeal of the Spider-Man franchise. With a dedicated studio like Insomniac at the helm and a passionate fanbase, the future looks extremely bright for this iconic superhero.
We also told you that Miles Morales will be the main Spider-Man in the future. Actually, fans are a bit conflicted about this. Some argue that Peter Parker has always been the main Spider-Man, while others say that he’s tired and that Miles would make a good main Spider-Man.
