Insomniac Games is once again riding high as their latest title, Marvel's Spider-Man has been selling at an unbelievable rate. The game has only been available worldwide for a few days to this point and already it has broken numerous records in the UK including a few specifically for Marvel.

According to the UK sale charts Marvel's Spider-Man has taken over as the fastest selling Marvel branded game in history. Insomniac's open-world gem has beaten the previous record holder, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, by a fairly wide margin, though Batman Arkham Knight remains as the fastest selling superhero game of this generation. That fact shouldn't be too surprising however as Batman Arkham Knight launched on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, which makes Spider-Man look even better considering it launched solely on the PS4.

In addition to topping Marvel related sales records, Marvel's Spider-Man has also knocked off a few 2018 records as well. In the UK, it has outsold Far Cry 5 to claim the title of fastest selling game of 2018 and almost doubled the numbers that God of War pulled in earlier this year. It's another impressive win for Sony, which continues to not only pump out well-received exclusives titles like Horizon Zero Dawn and the aforementioned God of War but also proves that the single player genre is far from dead.

Part of the reason why the game has sold so well is thanks in large part to the stellar reviews that it has earned. Most outlets, including our very own, have given top marks to the game, which propelled the franchise back to the glory days of some of the more classic titles. Swinging around New York has never felt better and outside of story missions, players have plenty of interesting things to check out from landmarks, to a powerful photo mode, and finding a vast array of unlockable Spidey suits pulled from the comics and movies alike.

Marvel's Spider-Man is available now on PS4.
