Spider-Man 2 beat out competition from Super Mario to claim No.1 in the UK boxed retail charts, GfK data reveals.
The PlayStation 5 exclusive had a strong launch. It is the biggest PS5 boxed launch of the year, with sales almost 5% bigger than the previous high point: the PS5 launch of Hogwarts Legacy back in February.
Spider-Man 2's launch sales are just over 3% lower than the PS5 launch of God of War Ragnarok, which was the biggest PlayStation launch of all time when it arrived last year. Of course, this is purely physical sales, so we will have to wait until digital comes in to find out which game comes out top. Note: God of War Ragnarok launched on a Wednesday, whereas Spider-Man 2 arrived on Friday, so last year's title had a few extra days on sale.
