Sony has shifted more than 2.5m copies of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in just 24 hours.
The eye-catching total makes the Spidey sequel Sony's fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever — referring to releases made by the company's own studios.
That ginormous launch means Spider-Man 2 hit the 2.5m copies milestone faster than any God of War, Uncharted or The Last of Us. It's also faster to that total than Spider-Man 1.
It's an eye-opening stat, and one which follows excellent Spider-Man 2 sales here in the UK, where it was the biggest boxed game launch last week — beating Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Sega's Sonic Superstars.
Earlier this morning, we noted that UK boxed sales of the game were down significantly on Spider-Man 1 — though we also said that this was likely an incomplete picture due to the rise in digital sales over the past few years.
Sony's own sales data here talks in terms of games «sold through» to PlayStation 5 owners. This will include both boxed games bought in bricks and mortar shops, as well as digital copies of the game that have been downloaded.
More than 2.5 million sales you say?!?!

It's not all been good news — developer Insomniac is having to patch the game to correct the flag found inside Miles Morales house to be the correct Puerto Rican design, rather than Cuban.
That said, Insomniac already has eyes on the future of its Spider-Men, and suggested what comes next would be part of a «pretty epic» arc, as «Spider-Man 1 was like our Iron Man, and Spider-Man 2 was like a Civil War».

Spider-Man 2 is arguably one of the best games of 2023. While enjoying a great release, one of the things that players noticed is that, while there were glitches present, compared to other major AAA titles, Spider-Man 2 is a very stable and optimized game. With that being said, here are all 1.001.004 patch notes for Spider-Man 2.
Insomniac Games has just rolled out Spider-Man 2 update 1.001.004 for PlayStation 5, which addresses various issues and improves stability.
Super Mario Bros Wonder has leapfrogged Spider-Man 2 to top the UK physical game charts.
Super Mario Bros Wonder topped the UK boxed charts this week, pushing last week's No.1 Spider-Man 2 to second place.
Gfk’s weekly physical sales data for the United Kingdom isn’t in yet, but there have been some notable shifts. According to Games Industry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is now in the top spot, despite sales dropping by 55 percent.
Here's to hoping they eventually cross paths.
There is a huge debate going on right now in the comics world about what kind of credit people should get when certain adaptations are made of comic properties, not just the “naming credit” in things like movies and TV shows, but the payments that they should get for inspiring some key events that take places in these media. For the longest time, movie and TV studios wouldn’t even do special thanks credits to the famous writers who helped bring the comic characters from Marvel and DC to life, and now, video games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 aren’t paying that kind of respect either.
The latest update for Spider-Man 2 has somehow made The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suit (which was already the best outfit in the game) even better.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a pretty good game, but it’s not without some errors. Miles Morales’ apartment displays the flag for Cuba, but the family is Puerto Rican. Fans quickly picked up on this, and Insomniac Games announced a patch to fix the issue. Said patch is now live and displays the Puerto Rican flag.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder has done very well since launching last week on Nintendo Switch, debuting second in physical sales charts for the United Kingdom. It’s also performed exceptionally throughout Europe, becoming the fastest-selling Mario game ever in the continent in its first three days on sale.
Super Mario Bros Wonder dominated the physical software charts in Japan this week, reportedly making it the fastest-selling Mario game on Switch in the country.
