The eagerly awaited game has been high on many PlayStation players lists to finally play. After numerous trailers over the past years of impressive in-game footage, and evolved web-swinging gameplay, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was shaping to be 2023’s best selling game of the year. The record breaking news from Sony all but confirms it may be headed in such direction, potentially beating out other major game releases of this year such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3.

Previously God of War Ragnarok held the title for fastest-selling PlayStation studios title, with 5.1 million sales in the first week.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 features Peter Parker and Miles Morales, faced against greater threats such as Venom, Kraven the Hunter, and more. The New York City map has been expanded as well, now including Brooklyn and Queens, with iconic locales. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is available exclusively on PlayStation 5.
