Spider-Man is PlayStation’s fastest selling PC game in the UK

Spider-Man Remastered has enjoyed PlayStation’s biggest PC launch in the UK so far.

Its first week sales were 26% above those of Sony’s last major PC release, which was January’s God of War, according to GSD data published on GamesIndustry.biz.

Spider-Man Remastered is also the fourth biggest PC game release of the year in the UK, trailing only Elden Ring, Total War: Warhammer 3 and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Developed by Nixxes, which Sony acquired last year, the remastered version of Spider-Man was released for PC on August 12 via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

According to SteamDB, Spider-Man reached fewer peak concurrent players (66,436) than God of War managed (73,529) after it debuted on Valve’s service.

VGC’s Marvel’s Spider-Man PC review called the game a Steam Deck marvel.

“This is an excellent PC port with Steam Deck support that elevates to it to a must-own for anyone with Valve’s portable,” we wrote. “While Sony may never make a PlayStation Vita 2, if its support of the Steam Deck continues as more and more PlayStation exclusives migrate to PC, it’ll soon feel like the next-generation Sony handheld many of us have always wanted.”
