　　Spider-Man 2 achieved those double-digit percentage gains over the first game despite launching near the end of the month, on October 20. For comparison, 2018's Spider-Man launched on September 7, 2018. Also, Spider-Man 2 is available exclusively on PS5, while the 2018 game debuted on PS4, which had a much larger install base than the PS5 does now.

　　Additionally, Circana's Mat Piscatella pointed out that Spider-Man 2 costs $70 to start compared with $60 for the original Spider-Man, which helped the game's overall revenue.

　　Circana does not release specific sales numbers, but Sony itself announced that Spider-Man 2 has sold 2.5 million copies globally in its first 24 hours and 5 million copies after 11 days.

　　After just one month on the market, Spider-Man 2 is now the No. 4 best-selling game overall in the US for 2023, trailing Madden NFL 24, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Hogwarts Legacy.

　　For US sales, Spider-Man 2 beat out a number of other newcomers in October, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which ranked No. 2 for the month. Assassin's Creed: Mirage, meanwhile, was No. 3. You can see the full list of October 2023's top 20 best-selling games in the gallery below.
