Trophy statistics don't necessarily tell the whole tale, but they can be a fairly accurate indicator of how much engagement a game is getting from its players. And in the case of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the PS5 title is seemingly doing a fantastic job of keeping people glued to their controllers.
As pointed out by @Jorraptor on Twitter, a very impressive 25% of players have beaten the main story, and 6.3% of those fans have stuck around to unlock the Platinum Trophy. That's a really good result for the PS5 exclusive, which isn't even one week old at the time of writing.
For the sake of additional context, if we take the reported 2.5 million sales Spider-Man 2 recorded in its first 24 hours, 25% of that figure would, at least on paper, equal 625,000 people. Again, very impressive.
It'll be interesting to see where the numbers are at, say... by the end of the year. We can absolutely imagine this superhero sequel being one of the PS5's most completed blockbusters when all's said and done.
Have you finished Spider-Man 2 yet? Even better, have you claimed the Plat? Wait for that satisfying Trophy pop in the comments section below.

Platinum baby that's what's up! Good story. They need to cut out the filler crap though
I'm taking my time with it, going for all the side content - I'm only about 25% through the main story plus its not the main focus - trying to clear some backlog
Got the platinum today as well. I'm not going to lie: I found the overall game kind of disappointing. The underwhelming main story with the frustrating stop-and-start pacing, the stupid parry mechanic screwing with the already sloppy combat, and the annoying appearances of modern PlayStation-isms and game design pet peeves of mine soured quite a bit of the game for me. I wish Insomniac's game design and writing matched the brilliance of their amazing tech.
EDIT: Despite my major criticisms, I do like the game overall. It's a decent experience, but it doesn't have the staying power of other exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, and God of War: Ragnarok, in my opinion.
Removed - unconstructive
I'm trying to clean up my backlog before I start playing this
Going to have to agree with a couple of the above, it was pretty boring yet lovely to look at and well past it's welcome by the time the platinum pops.
I don't think I'll bother with the inevitable New Game Plus trophy.
Removed - inappropriate
Just off work now and hoping to finish the story by the end of day and clean up the plat before the end of the week
Finished it the other day, enjoyed it. While I understand the criticisms to an extent, we're not making the gaming equivalent of Jane Austen here. It's a half-term holiday blockbuster and it's an absolute banger.
@Dalejrfanfreak interesting to hear you say that as I’ve done very little story content, but can already see how progressive and driven by modern politics they game is in side quests and even the visits to the Foundation. Feels as though they definitely wanted to make sure we all got the message.
@Dalejrfanfreak what are you talking about
I honestly don't even understand a lot of the criticism. I haven't beaten it, as I'm in the last bit of the game, but it's probably my GOTY. Story is phenomenal, gameplay is as fun as ever. The fact that they have people complaining about the game either being too short or too much filler makes me think they paced it the perfect length.
....and then of course there's no winning the snowflakes who think a gay background character is somehow "political" (what do these people call games like Metal Gear Solid or Call of Duty?).
Wanted to get into it by replaying the first one but realized that these games are a bit too button mashy and repetitive for me, so I'll probably skip this one
Game is a blast, I'm over 50% finished .
I found every activity to be enjoyable, so I got the plat.
I normally play games at a very slow pace. But I cant stop playing this...
I'll play the inevitable PC version.
Got zero interest in the PS5 version.
Thanks for beta testing it.
@Dalejrfanfreak Yeah despite enjoying the game I'm not a fan of how much it is trying to shove it in your face with the LGBT stuff. They want to put gay representation in that's fine but don't try to shove it down people's throats with it.
@Nepp67 there are two characters that are gay and featured somewhat prominently and one is in an optional side mission please explain to me how that's "shoving it down people's throats"
@Dalejrfanfreak How is it woke?
@JPEGMakima Yea and they just stand there and thank you. Its not like your watching them do inappropriate things
@Nepp67 What would be "shoving down people's throats"?
I'm going to wait to play this one as I'm currently super in debt for the next few months. But I'm definitely playing at some point.
It's weird some things people complain about. The feeling I get is that anything that represents life outside their norm bubble is too much in their face.
@Whately86 Honestly waiting to buy it is not a bad thing as right now it feels incomplete to the point you can't even change the time of day once you finish the main story so you're stuck in sunny mid day time, there's also no NG+ yet or mission replay and there's meant to be more suits coming as free updates. Give it to the new year and all this stuff should have been added by then.
@Nepp67 wow, what a shocking and what could seem to be a hateful attitude. Everyone in a game isn’t straight and you can’t deal with that clearly. Shame.
Great game though.
It's actually a fairly bland game. Amazing graphics. Decent performance. Familiar gameplay. Forgettable story. Very occasional glitches. I haven't completed it but I'm fairly sure I'm not going to encounter some amazing surprises based on other people's reviews.
Hurry up Sony! Stop trying to sell me plastic and new systems and give me something to look forward to.
@Scoot23 just because you don't want to hear about someone's sexuality doesn't mean you have burning hatred for them. Someone has convinced you that if someone disagrees with you it means they hate you and are evil.
I think anyone calling THIS Spider-Man game, "GOTY", has never played Hi-Fi Rush or Zelda TOTK.
@VideoGameBoy “shove down people’s throats” which isn’t even the case, is a negative comment.
You clearly need to accept there are people different from you and they will be represented.
And people suddenly calling this game out for promoting one life or another need to grow up and maybe not play games anymore. If you think this game is ramming anything down your throat or other people's throats then you need to calm down and get a new hobby.
yesterday night , I tried to play again and the audio bugs were horrible , it's like a horrible echoing beeping going on and then the sound disappear. I was using Sony headphones , so I changed to the Oled tv speakers , and still the same happens every some seconds , especially in scenario while characters are talking, I even tried to change the Audio settings in the console to various combinations but still nothing . In the city swinging is fine most of the time . I hope they fix this soon , because yesterday made me really frustrated and stopped the game until a future patch will be applied cause this happened for with Ghost of Tsushima too!
@VideoGameBoy I agree that disagreement doesn't mean hatred towards the person you're disagreeing with. I'm so sick of the polar extremes in the world now.
If I like Xbox, everyone tells me that I HATE PlayStation.
If I like PlayStation, everyone tells me I HATE Xbox.
It's really upsetting the way people attack.
@__jamiie wait until they find out you like the Switch haha (jokes)
I've played about an hour lol ....I just cba after work
I remember when going for a platinum was a challenge.......... Spider-Man 2 is a simple platinum, the trophies aren't hard to achieve.
This game guarantees a platinum 🫤🫤🫤🫤
Give it a few weeks and this games platinum will have the same rarity as a basic silver/ gold trophy
Got the Platinum last night and absolutely loved the game.
Not sure the story was as good as the first game, but I found the gameplay even more fun this time around.
Can’t wait for the third game with those very exciting characters teasers.
sure isn’t doing an amazing job at keeping them playing long enough though 💀 i heard it’s short , i haven’t played in a couple days but i really wanna take my time with it like i did with the first game, because god knows when the next time i’ll play my ps5 after this game , MK1 is disappointing even on console , so i have nothing after this
@__jamiie i could be wrong but imo i think that’s just gamers that only communicate through the internet too much & forgot basic human understanding, pretty sad when you factor in these people are like 20-30+ years old . when i talk to people about games irl it’s never any passive-aggressive fanboy BS or rude accusations; only online are you labeled a troll , i can’t stand it myself nor can’t i stand fanboyism
@VideoGameBoy Yup, never once stated that I hate gay people, not to mention that I love Dion's character in FF16.
@Nepp67 not picking up any hate in your comment. I think people forget about being able to have an opinion about things unless its about.....i bounced off the first game as i found it got pretty boring fast so even though this looks fantastic i like my games to keep me entertained too so its a no no for me.
I don't think you can report or attempt to claim 625k people have completed the game. Buying a game does not mean a buyer has started to play it.
@solidox they are going off the statistics for the trophys not the sales figures 🤦♂️
@Northern_munkey I get ya, I 100% the first game but I can admit that it felt pretty ubisoftey like other people talked about.
Hogwarts was finally on sale at an acceptable price so going through that currently while also playing Baldur's Gate. Still gotta wait for God of War Ragnarok to be a normal price before I purchase it. Going to be a long time until I play this I think.
Alan Wake 2 is also out soon at a much more reasonable £50 so probably going to pick that up. Got to reward fair price points.
@__jamiie
A GOTY is different for everyone. I played both games you mentioned. Hi-Fi Rush is amazing. But Zelda was for me the most forgettable Zelda in decades, and I really enjoyed BotW. Does that mean it's a bad game, not at all, but it didn't do for me what it did to others.
Article fails to say how this compares to Spider-Man 1 and other similar games.
@DennisReynolds I'm honestly thinking about waiting for the inevitable "GOTY" edition with DLC. On the top of your mind, when would you guess this version should release?
@Martijn87 it's kind of crazy how people tend to forget experience might vary from person to person.
Last Zelda I really played was Wind Waker. They just have a particular vibe used to carry me away. Miss those days. Used to be Nintendo all the way and now I own a PS4 & PS5. Never thought I'd part from Nintendo back in the day but Wii just lost me completely. Loved GameCube though.
@Whately86 The NG+ update is coming this year but i have no idea when a GOTY version will drop as DLC hasn't even been revealed yet, all we know is we're getting free suits and a NG+ update. I'm guessing paid DLC will happen so maybe a GOTY version will drop a year from now?
@DennisReynolds Perhaps I'll wait till then. Maybe I'll try out FF 16 before.
