Spider-Man 2 is the fastest-selling PS Studios game ever

Last Friday was a big one for PlayStation fans, as Insomniac released the sequel to its highly praised Spider-Man game. Spider-Man 2 has now been available for a few days and it has swiftly become the fastest-selling game in PS Studios' history. 

During its first 24 hours on the market, Spider-Man 2 sold 2.5 million copies, making it the fastest-selling first-party game in PlayStation's history.

Spider-Man 2 also launched to rave reviews, garnering a 91 overall rating on Metacritic once the embargo lifted. This puts the game a few points higher than Spider-Man (2018), Insomniac's first Marvel game. Now with this sequel being so highly rated and topping sales charts, we can likely expect a Spider-Man 3 from Insomniac in the years ahead.

Aside from Spider-Man, Insomniac is also working on one other Marvel project, a standalone Wolverine game. However, not much is known about this game, or when it will release.

KitGuru Says: While I am enjoying Spider-Man 2 quite a bit I must say I've been surprised by the amount of progression-blocking bugs I've hit. I have had to reload checkpoints or restart missions several times so far but I expect that will all be ironed out over the next couple of months.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
