Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 becomes fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game of all time

It took Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just 24 hours to break the all-time record for the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in PlayStation history.

Released on October 20, 2023, for the PlayStation 5, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 received rave reviews from gamers and critics alike. The game enjoyed huge sales success selling more than 2.5 million copies in 24 hours, Sony revealed in a press release.

With this achievement, the game has now surpassed 2022’s God of War Ragnarok who previously held the record.

“Insomniac Games holds itself to incredibly high standards when it comes to delivering engaging and innovative gameplay experiences,” said Eric Lempel, SVP, Global Marketing, Sales, and Business Operations, Sony Interactive Entertainment.

“Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is Insomniac Games’ third instalment in the franchise for PlayStation. Built from the ground up to take advantage of the unique features of PlayStation 5, the goal was to massively build off the action, storylines, and features from the first two games.”

“With an epic storyline, two playable superheroes, a visually stunning Marvel’s New York, and so much more, this is a game you can get lost in for hours. On behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment, I want to say thank you to the fans – we truly hope you are enjoying your time playing as Peter and Miles in this amazing adventure,” Lempel added.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales return to the PlayStation 5 to face the menacing villain Venom, using new abilities and teamwork to protect New York City.

The game is currently available on the PlayStation Store for INR 4,999.
