In 2023, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 debuted exclusively on the PlayStation 5 and swiftly emerged as one of the year’s most successful games. Much like its precursor, the game received overwhelming critical praise, with many critics hailing it as exceptional. On OpenCritic, for instance, it earned a Top Critic Average of 90, with an impressive 97% of reviewers recommending the game. The title’s reviews were so glowing that it was even nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards. Moreover, within just 24 hours of its October release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had sold approximately 2.5 million units, a record for the fastest selling PlayStation Studios game up to that point. By April 2024, Sony announced that global sales had surpassed 11 million copies, a significant achievement given its exclusive availability on one platform.
