Spider-Man 2‘s sales have been nothing short of awe-inspiring, selling 2.5 million copies within its first 24 hours. In less than a month, it has managed to double that number. Insomniac isn’t done with the IP yet, and a patch has been recently released to fix minor performance issues. There has also been mention of a potential Venom spin-off, depending on what fans want.

Sony’s first-party titles are performing well

The announcement was posted on Twitter, though a more detailed second-quarter financial report gives more details regarding the performance of Sony’s gaming division. Spider-Man 2 isn’t the only game under Sony’s umbrella doing impressive numbers.

The report reveals God of War Ragnarok has sold 11 million copies, while Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has sold 1.1 million units. We also learn that the PS5 has sold 4.9 million units in the last quarter, bringing the console’s lifetime sales to a little over 46 million units.

Spider-Man 2 has been a boon for Sony and there’ll be plenty more content next year for fans, as the Kraven the Hunter movie and an untitled Venom movie are scheduled for 2024.
