Spider-Man Remastered is now PlayStation's biggest PC launch in the UK

The recently-released Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is now the biggest PC release for Sony in the UK.

That's according to GSD information - as reported by GamesIndustry.biz - which says that sales of the super hero romp were 26 per cent higher than the previous record holder, God of War. That was released in January of this year.

Spider-Man Remastered is also apparently the fourth largest PC launch for the UK coming behind Elden Ring, Total War: Warhammer 3 and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Spider-Man Remastered was the second highest grossing title on Steam the last two weeks on sale, only held back by the expensive and highly sought after Steam Deck hardware.

This is the latest Sony first-party title to come to PC, following Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone and God of War. PlayStation recently formed a PC publishing label to support this new business and bought PC porting specialist Nixxes last year.

The company reckons its PC business will make $300 million in the year ending March 2023
