Spider-Man 2, Insomniac’s masterpiece that has gone from success to success, has crossed another important threshold and solidified its place as one of the fastest-selling first-party PS5 games to date.
The studio announced that Spider-Man 2 has already exceeded 5 million sales
As you may remember, the release of Spider-Man 2 was truly spectacular and broke a record by selling 2.5 million copies in just the first 24 hours. In less than a month, this number 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 fix minor performance issues. Additionally, there has been talk of a potential Venom spin-off, a possibility that depends on the desires of the dedicated fan base.
This success is part of a broader trend in Sony’s gaming division where first-party games are thriving. The company’s comprehensive second-quarter financial report sheds light on the impressive performance of various games under Sony’s umbrella. For example, God of War Ragnarok sold 11 million copies, while Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart achieved sales of 1.1 million units.
The report also reveals another achievement: PS5 sold 4.9 million units in the last quarter alone, bringing the console’s lifetime sales to 46 million units.
It’s undeniable that Spider-Man 2 is a windfall for Sony, and fans have a lot to look forward to next 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.
Insomniac’s main Spider-Man will no longer be Peter Parker!
Miles Morales will now be Insomniac’s main Spider-Man, in a move planned “fairly early.” Here are the details!
Ultimately, Spider-Man 2’s outstanding sales figures are a testament to the quality of the game and the enduring appeal of the Spider-Man series. With a dedicated studio like Insomniac at the helm and a passionate fan base, the future looks extremely bright for this iconic superhero.
We also mentioned that in the future the main Spider-Man will be Miles Morales. Actually, fans are in a bit of a dilemma regarding this. While some argue that the real Spider-Man has always been Peter Parker, others say that he is tired now and Miles can take on the role as a very good main Spider-Man.
