Spider-Man Remastered was recently released for PC, and it has already proved a massive success for Sony. The newly remastered game is currently the second biggest Steam launch by Playstation Studios, trailing close behind God of War. We’re also excited to see what Spider-Man: Miles Morales will do.
The new Spider-Man Remastered has, in fact, done so well that it has surpassed the performance of games like Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn. As of the writing of this article, Spider-Man Remastered boasts an all-time player peak of 66,436 players.
This is according to SteamDB, which further mentions that God of War debuted with an all-time peak player count of 73,529. SteamDB also notes that Horizon Zero Dawn achieved a peak of 56,557 players at launch, while Days Gone only scraped together 27,450 players when it launched.
Playstation is definitely welcoming the immense success of its latest title as it bolsters the company’s decision to slide into PC publishing. To that end, Playstation recently acquired Nixxies, the PC porting specialist. The company has also started setting up a new PC label in order to port humanity’s favorite Playstation titles and exclusives to PC gaming marketplaces such as Steam.
Unsurprisingly, the company expects to make quite a killing from this new venture, with profits from PC gaming exclusively estimated to be around $300 million in Sony’s next financial year.
Spider-Man Remastered isn’t the only web-flinging title coming to PC this year. Miles Morales, a Spider-Man spin-off is expected to drop a little later this year for PC.
