The game celebrated its 5th anniversary on September 8th and Matt Piscatella took to X to share that Marvel’s Spider-Man is still the best-selling superhero game of all time in the US, according to the data gathered by Circana Retail Tracking Service, making it highly verifiable. The developers celebrated this occasion on a livestream with Nadji Jeter, Yuri Lowenthal, and Laura Bailey and asked players about their best moments playing the game.
