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. 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.
Spider-Man 2's launch sales are just over 27% lower than the PS5 launch of God of War Ragnarok, which was the biggest PlayStation launch of all time when it arrived last year. It is the second biggest PS5 boxed launch of the year, just behind the PS5 lauch of Hogwarts Legacy back in February. The PlayStation 5 exclusive had a strong launch. Spider-Man 2 beat out competition from Super Mario to claim No.1 in the UK boxed retail charts, GfK data reveals. Previously, we stated Spider-Man 2 is the biggest PS5 launch of the year (it's now Hogwarts Legacy), and that sales were 3% lower than God of War Ragnarok (it was 27% lower). Updated: Due to some double counting on Spider-Man 2, we've updated the story with the correct % figures.
