Spider-Man for PS4 Is the Fastest Selling Game of the Year in the UK

4.3
Gameindustry.biz reported that Marvel’s Spider-Man is doing gangbusters as it has been crowned the fastest-selling game of the year in the United Kingdom. Far Cry 5 previously held the record, but what’s even more impressive is that Far Cry 5 was available on multiple platforms. Furthermore, Spider-Man nearly doubled the number of copies God of War sold when it launched back in April.

The title has also become the fastest-selling Marvel game in history. LEGO Marvel Superheroes originally held that title but it looks like Spider-Man has beat its record by quite a lot. It’s a fantastic year to be a PS4 owner with exclusives such as Shadow of the Colossus, Detroit: Become Human, God of War, and now Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Also, another PS4 console exclusive ranked second on the top chart for the month, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. While it’s not all too surprising that an iconic hero like Spider-Man beat out an old-school JRPG, it’s still nice to see the longrunning series get the love it deserves. You can see the full list from the U.K. down below:

Last WeekThis WeekTitle

33Grand Theft Auto V

26Pro Evolution Soccer 2019
67Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
New Entry8Destiny 2: Forsaken
79PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
1210LEGO The Incredibles


It’s important to note that the chart above does not include digital sales, which is why we likely see Destiny 2: Forsaken at a lower spot even though it launched this week. It’ll be incredibly interesting to see where the end of the year takes us in terms of sales, with titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Red Dead Redemption 2 still coming. This will definitely be an iconic year for video games.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is available right now exclusively on PS4, you can buy the game over at Amazon if you’d like. You can also check out our review where we awarded the game the highest score we can give.

Makes sense, but I think once cod and rdr2 and those other big titles come out it may dip a bit.

Craig Shame they haven't released this on other platforms, it would have old well across them all i think. Hopefully they do this in the coming future though.


I doubt it. Sony are nazi's with exclusives so I doubt it will come on any other platforms. One can hope though!

The game is fantastic. I play on PC mostly and kept telling myself to not buy a console again but I had to, PS4 has some pretty incredible exclusives. Spider-Man being one of them!

Surprised it's gotten the all year title so far, but I've heard tons of great stuff about the game so I guess it can't be too surprising
