Insomniac Games’ critically acclaimed superhero sequel Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has sold over five million copies, as of 30th October. The figure was confirmed as part of a Sony earnings call, and later celebrated on social media by the Burbank-based developer. It means the game took about ten days to pass the milestone, a little longer than God of War Ragnarok which achieved the same feat in just four days. However, it’s worth remembering the latter also launched on PS4.
“Woo! We're incredibly honored to announce Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has sold over five million copies,” the developer said. “Thank you to our incredible community for supporting us and helping us reach this milestone.”
We loved the PS5 exclusive, and described it as “an absolute blast” in our Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 review. “This is a confident sequel that builds on the previous games in practically every way possible,” we wrote. “Smart additions and refinements to traversal, combat, and open world activities mean this is the best Spidey game from Insomniac yet.”

Great to see, even if that does include the units they bundled with the PS5s.
Be interesting to see what it ends up with over the christmas run.
The game is just so damn good!
However, I really do not want Miles only/centric games going forward
If Miles really replaces Peter in the future, we will see such sales for the last time.
Miles is pretty much the most overrated Marvel character. There's a reason why Insomniac is talking about a Venom stand alone game.
Venom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miles
Peter will also be the main hero in SM3. no matter what IG says now. and if necessary, Sony will intervene.
Great to see, impressive that over 10% of the install base bought the game in such a short time. Be interesting to see the Christmas numbers!
Would love to see a comparison with the sales numbers of the first MSM, after one week and total sales.
People really are taken that "Miles" comment out of context. If you finished the game, you should have a good idea where the third game is going.
My GotY right there. Congrats to the team of Insomniac. Well deserved.
I am not sure a little longer accurately describes the difference between 4 days and 10 days. It is over double or 2.5 times. But congratulations Insomniac!
You love to see it. Incredible game.
Damn all the articles about who the main spiderman going forward is were marked as spoilers. I come here and the comments just vomit it up immediately. Thanks… i guess.
N.i.c.e.well deserved.spiderman 2 is amazing.word up son
@Sakai its six days, did you want them to say “wayyyyyy longer”?
@Logonogo pretty much anything would have been more accurate than the words they used, as 10 days is a lot, when comparing to 4 days, its more than double
@Sakai smh.. I’m part of the most whiny group of people on earth.. gamers.. you’re splitting hairs bro.. who really cares
@WolfyTn I am not splitting hairs, I am asking for things to be written accurately, I did not know that was too much to ask these days lol
Amazing. Loved the game.
But more importantly - it was 1 of many great games on my list I played. Beauty of Playstation is that these 1st party are gravy on top of on an amazing 3rd party releases schedule.
@Zuljaras According to Wikipedia, Miles Morales sold 6.5 million in total.
You know we always see how many units a game sold but I’m curious how much actual money it made. As gaming budgets have ballooned in recent years we’ve seen games have to sell millions of units just to break even. I wish we had more transparency on game budgets. So we have a better idea on how successful a game actually is.
@Jireland92 I was thinking the same thing. While that is massive for sure, it all really depends on the cost to produce it.
@MattBoothDev Yeah by July 2021 over 2 years ago. Miles has probably cracked 10 million by now but he's definitely not as popular as Peter.
Still haven't picked up myself yet, very interested to see if this hits GOTY or TOTK will.
Game is going to have long legs.
Christmas is going to push it an extra few million. Probably 10 mill plus by next year april
