FULL STORY
======================================================================

PlayStation has announced that in just 24 hours, Marvels Spider-Man 2 managed 
to sell over 2.5 million copies, cementing it as the fastest-selling 
PlayStation Studios game ever. 

The news was announced on Twitter, where the company thanked fans for their 
support. It wrote: Great news, Spidey fans - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has sold 
more than 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours. Thanks for making this a 
high-flying launch! Great news, Spidey fans -- Marvel's #SpiderMan2PS5 has

Last year, following the launch of God of War: Ragnark , it was announced 
that Kratos latest adventure had taken the title of the fastest-selling 
first-party PlayStation game. So, for the record to be broken again so soon 
is pretty staggering, especially when Ragnark released on both PS4 and PS5 , 
while the latest Spidey adventure is a current-generation exclusive. For 
comparison, Ragnark sold 5.1 million copies in its first week, so Spider-Man 
2 getting to half of that in just one day is seriously impressive. 

 Spider-Man 2 s sales figures may be enormous, but its success isnt shocking, 
considering how well critics received the game. TechRadar Gamings Jake Tucker 
gave the game four out of five in his review, and praised its satisfying 
traversal mechanics, as well as its true comic saga story. He wrote:  Marvels 
Spider-Man 2 delivers a satisfying Spidey-saga that gives fans everything 
they could want from a Venom arc and also includes several surprises. It's a 
single-player open-world game that prioritizes fun above all else, with a 
host of accessibility features to let everyone join in. 

In other news, Insomniac Games director of community and marketing, James 
Stevenson, confirmed last week that Spider-Man 2 will be receiving a New Game 
Plus mode and option to replay missions at some point before the end of the 
year, which is great news for anyone whos already rolled credits.
