Spider-Man 2 swings past 2.5 million copies sold in just 24 hours
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has got off to a fantastic start, with PlayStation and developer Insomniac announcing that 2.5 million copies of the PlayStation 5 exclusive were sold within the first 24 hours.
That’s a fantastic amount of copies sold in such a short space of time, and is now the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game. That’s hardly surprising considering where the PS5 is right now and how popular the PS4 original was – also Spider-Man is just such a ridiculously popular character.
To put this figure into a different kind of perspective, the 2020 census put the population of New York City at 8.8 million, and Spider-Man 2’s player base is clearly a long, long way away from that… but would still be enough to be the fourth largest city in the USA (behind NYC, Los Angeles and Chicago, but just ahead of Houston, Texas). Heck, there’s more copies of Spider-Man 2 sold than there are people in New Mexico, the 37th most populated US state or territory!
Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic sequel, building on everything that the original did and making great use of the PlayStation 5 hardware. In our Spider-Man 2 review, Dom said, “Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic sequel, building on the excellent foundations of its forebear while delivering a story that drives these beloved characters forward.”
