Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Becomes the Fastest Selling Game for PlayStation (Image via Insomniac Games)

Spider-Man 2 Is PlayStation’s Fastest Selling Game Ever

Insomniac’s latest release seems to have broken all the records. With over 2.5 million downloads within 24 hours since its release on October 20, 2023, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has officially become the fastest selling game ever for PlayStation. This record was previously held by another PlayStation-exclusive game, God of War: Ragnarok.

Great news, Spidey fans — Marvel's #SpiderMan2PS5 has sold more than 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours. Thanks for making this a high-flying launch! pic.twitter.com/k3KdioW6x7

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) October 23, 2023

God of War: Ragnarok had achieved the title of fastest selling PS game by surpassing over 5.1 million copies sold within the first week of the game’s release. However, despite being a PS5 exclusive title, Spider-Man 2 has already covered half the field in a mere 24-hour window. It’s safe say to say that the superhero game is set to surpass the 5.1 million mark well before October 27, i.e., one week since release.

Spider-Man 2 has overtaken many popular gaming series and titles on PlayStation, surpassing initial sales numbers of any Uncharted titles, God of War titles, or even one of the highest grossing gaming titles of all time, The Last of Us Part I & II. The release of Spider-Man 2 was also the biggest PS5 boxed launch events of all time, aggregating 5% more than the last recorded title – Hogwarts Legacy’s PS5 release.

Spider-Man 2 Overtakes Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s Opening Sales In UK

October 20, 2023, saw the release of two major video game titles, exclusive for two different consoles. In terms of box sales in the UK, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 surpassed Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder during the first few days.

In terms of cross-platform titles, Spider-Man 2 holds the record for the fourth biggest boxed game launch of the year, after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, EA Sports FC24, and Hogwarts Legacy.

The last installment in Insomniac’s Spider-saga, Spider-Man: Miles Morales released on PS4 & PS5 in 2020. It registered 41% lower day-one sales numbers than Spider-Man 2. However, the first Spider-Man title by Insomniac, released on PS4 & PS5 in 2018, registered significantly higher, i.e., 38% more day-one sales numbers than the latest release.
