Regarding PC software, we released Marvelʼs Spider-Man in August and the popular IP that was also a hit movie, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection ,in October.
• These titles have been rated highly with Metacritic Metascores of 87 and 88 respectively, and, in the two months since release, sales of Marvelʼs Spider-Man approached the highest level ever for a PC software title released by Sony.

No numbers. Meh. Just pr fluff. The question is? Will they hit the the revenue expect for the PC investment?

 

[[Sigma]]

 

[TintoConCasera]

That's great for both PC chads and Sony bros.

But if they want to see high numbers, Sony please, release Bloodborne remaster on both PC and PS5. Easy money never was this easy.

 

[Midn1ght]

So at least 2 million in a little over 2 months (probably more). Nice to see!

Spider-Man sure is a popular franchise, I never cared for the movies but I'll definitely try the games out at some point.

 

[RoboFu]

Yeah I mean it’s Spider-Man

 

[light2x]

Where's the numbers tho

 

[GHG]

No numbers. Meh. Just pr fluff. The question is? Will they hit the the revenue expect for the PC investment?

Steamspy has it at 1-2 million. Wide range I know, but it's something at least.

 

[elliot5]

... what else would be higher? Horizon after all these years?

 

[feynoob]

That is what happens, when you give your best product to PC people, and allow modding.

Gz insomniac.

 

[Power Pro]

It's Spider-man...

 

[Black_Stride]

... what else would be higher? Horizon after all these years?

Im going to guess number one is Predator Hunting Grounds?



Now bring the rest of dem "exclusives" over.

 

[ArtHands]

... what else would be higher? Horizon after all these years?

Honestly thought it'll be God of War

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Yeah I mean it’s a good Spider-Man game.

FTFY.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Great. Now release Bloodborne on PC.

 

[remember_spinal]

A lot of people thought GoW did better on Steam due to the concurrent player count. This pretty much proves thats not a good metric for measuring pure sales

Sea of theives has like 66.6k concurent player, but sold 5m copies.
I expect god of war and spiderman to cross that 5m in the future.

If this is true, then expect it to be higher than 3m copies sold.

 

[SLB1904]

If this is true, then expect it to be higher than 3m copies sold.

This assuming the ps4 version stop selling. With sequel coming out always bump sales.

Steamspy has it at 1-2 million. Wide range I know, but it's something at least.

Steamspy is not reliable at all.

 

[bender]

Great. Now release Bloodborne on PC.

 

[Lupin25]

Spider-Man should definitely hit 25-30 million units sold by the end of the gen with the help of the PC userbase.

 

[TGO]

Come back when it's over 10mill on PC alone.
And that would still not excuse the lack of focus on their actual Platform to achieve it.
Good news nonetheless.

 

[danklord]

Time to drop the Mac port

 

[feynoob]

This assuming the ps4 version stop selling. With sequel coming out always bump sales.

difference is, PC is hot now. So I doubt PS4 would have that many sales. Still, its possible, if they do sales.

Insomniac's Spider-Man Games Have Sold Over 33 Million Copies - IGN

Ahead of Marvel's Spider-Man's release on PC later this year, Insomniac has revealed a huge sales milestone for the franchise.

More like 50mil

... what else would be higher? Horizon after all these years?

Well Horizon hit roughly 2.5 million so Spiderman must be close to that.

Sheesh

I wonder what the individual data is for both, especially Miles now?

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

On Xbox? Maybe, for average. On PC though the average concurrent is closer to 7K - 10K and it hasn't had a peak nearly as high as 66.6K concurrent since probably launch or whatever big revamp came about where the game drastically improved.

 

[tvdaXD]

Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us 1 & 2, Demon Souls and Bloodborne.
There's some good titles to release on PC, they'll sell like crazy. Free idea for you Sony.

 

[ergem]

That's great for both PC chads and Sony bros.

But if they want to see high numbers, Sony please, release Bloodborne remaster on both PC and PS5. Easy money never was this easy.

At this point, I feel like Bloodborne remake will be a PS6 launch title.

 

[sinnergy]

How many levels are there ?

 

[Robb]

So they’re doing a MS and won’t give any numbers? Do better Sony.

 

[feynoob]

On Xbox? Maybe, for average. On PC though the average concurrent is closer to 7K - 10K and it hasn't had a peak nearly as high as 66.6K concurrent since probably launch or whatever big revamp came about where the game drastically improved.

Which shows how useless that model is for the success of the game.
The game sold 5m copies on steam. Yet, it has those concurrent players.

 

[reksveks]

Will be interesting to see the steam charts at the end of the year but good news for pc gamers and Sony.
