Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has achieved a remarkable sales milestone, with Sony announcing the game has sold over five million copies within just 11 days of its release. Insomniac Games took to social media to express gratitude to the community for the game's success.

The game set records from day one by selling more than 2.5 million copies in 24 hours, surpassing God of War Ragnarok's initial sales, though Ragnarok retains its overall first-week lead with 5.1 million copies sold. It is worth noting, however, that Spider-Man 2 is exclusive to the PlayStation 5, unlike Ragnarok, which was available on both PS5 and PS4.

For comparison, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part 2 previously sold more than four million copies in three days, and Insomniac's original Spider-Man title sold 3.3 million copies in its initial three-day period. Nonetheless, Spider-Man 2 has been acknowledged as both a critical and commercial hit.

Insights into the game's quality are shared, commenting on the refinement of combat and web-swinging mechanics and the game's open-world experience. While New York City's environment has been expanded, the critique points out a redundancy in side activities.

Speculation now turns to the future of the Spider-Man game series, with Insomniac already working on a Wolverine title set within the same universe and potential for a Venom spinoff. There is also talk of possible Daredevil or Doctor Strange DLC coming up, and anticipation builds for Spider-Man 3.
