Marvel's Spider-Man, the open world superhero game from Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games, took the gaming world by surprise when it launched in September 2018. Within three days of being on the market, the game sold over three million copies, making it one of the most successful game launches in PlayStation's history. Since then, it has steadily sold well, and we have word now that it has zoomed past the 20 million copies sold mark - potentially making it one of Sony's biggest games to rival even The Last of Us.

According to the LinkedIn page of PlayStation's global brand marketer David Bull, Spider-Man broke the 20 million mark in sales. However, the report has since been edited, but a user on Twitter managed to capture the screenshot before the edit happened. The only other game in Sony's history to breach that 20 million mark was The Last of Us, and since the report notes Spider-Man sold over 20 million copies (without an exact figure), it's safe to assume that the game is among the upper echelon of Sony's biggest sellers and greatest hits. Trailing not too far behind The Last of Us and Spider-Man is the Uncharted series, which has always been a blockbuster franchise for PlayStation.
