Stevivor’s Steve Wright: “Spider-Man is now available on PS4, and I can now tell you about one of the coolest things it has going for it: it's super gay.”
A Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered multiplayer mod is in development by the community, and there's even early gameplay footage.
Insomniac Games' 2018 web-swinging adventure, Marvel's Spider-Man, has generated almost 4 billion US Dollars in revenue during its first year.

For those spreading lies here about Marvel making the most out of the deal...
The rate has tiers. 9% to 18% physical and 19% to 26% digital for the first 7 mil. So even if it's 26% for all versions it's not that much. Considering all platform holders charge 30%. And just like 30% is how much Sony is getting from call of duty.
Now let's think about how much money Microsoft is making off Indiana Jones on PS5 and steam since there is a platform cut of 30% plus the disney cut...ouch. 😏
Plus why would Disney mess with a deal where they sit back and make a crap ton of income without lifting a finger?! Idiots think Disney will say no to money? Lol
Replies(4)Yes considering the IP, 19-26% isn’t really that crazy.
For context google and apple wants 30% for selling your console and PC games on a phone.
False
Proof: you are able to purchase titles within the Steam and PS Apps. You've always been able to.
The one exception is Xbox, where they both (1) have their own mobile store agenda, and (2) have remote play built into the core Xbox app, while PS Remote Play and Steam Link are separate apps.

Can someone explain me the math here. 20 million copies x $60 = $1.2 billion max (assuming every copy was sold at $60 which it possibly couldn't).
Even Gta5/RDR2 didn't generate this much revenue in their first year even though they sold much more. Something is off here with this revenue calculation.
Basically people like Boxx don't know wtf they are talking about. There was also an expensive collector edition of the game, faceplate, controllers and a special edition console. Add in new customers to Playstation buying the system to specifically play Spiderman and yeah you can bump up revenue in multiple areas. Spiderman is that popular.
It's a guy saying their games helped generate revenue...not any official revenue. He's touting revenue that wouldn't exist without the game. So ya toys and comics. This is not a sony financial report.

It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch.

Reminds me how many devices was gta released on and who’s fanbase bigger CoD or gta 🤦🏿.
Edit:Congrats to Sony.
Damn I missed a obscured account troll comment 😩
Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.
Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why are we comparing Spiderman to GTA5 anyway? You can pick literally any game or media release and it doesn't compare to GTA5 sales - plus, one is exclusive to Pla-... this is dumb.
It's only off if you decide to exclude accessories and custom consoles/bundles. Those are all part of the revenue
@TysonDor
Sure, if that helps you sleep better at night. You might not be smart enough to know this, but most games don't get bundles or their own custom consoles. If Sony, Nintendo, and MS create a custom console of a game that ends up selling millions, that revenue is counted towards that game. Video game sales are not the only way games make money.
They are not fudging any numbers, they are counting the money they made through this game, hell I would say it's more if we include merchandise sales too, but that goes to Marvel, not Sony
Rocket League's Halloween Event, Haunted Hallows, makes a return with a Marvel's Spider-Man makeover, returning modes, and a new map.
Wonder how many people will comment without reading the opinion piece?
Clickbait title. Thats a shame. Article isnt that bad.
No homo but I think it is okay to be gay at least once a year
Insomniac faithfully recreates the rainbow flag in some parts of the game and suddenly Spider-Man is super gay? Me thinks clickbait title regarding 3 points does not make anything super-anything.
Just on the DL though, much like members of the republican party.
