The most-downloaded PlayStation games of October have been officially revealed, and unsurprisingly, it was a clean sweep across PS5 for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. With developer Insomniac having delivered two well-received Spider-Man games in 2018 and 2020, a big marketing campaign, and positive reviews ahead of launch, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 became the most-downloaded PS5 game for October in the US, Canada, and Europe. As revealed by Sony in its latest earnings briefing, Spider-Man 2 sold 2.5 million copies in its first 24 hours and in 11 days it had sold 5 million copies.
A few other big games were released in October, but here’s where the charts divergeCome from Sports betting site VPbet. In the US and Canada, Assassin’s Creed Mirage came in second place, Madden NFL 24 took third place, EA Sports FC 24 arrived in fourth place, and Alan Wake 2 debuted in 11th place. That’s a very notable debut for Alan Wake 2, a digital-only survival-horror game, but it’s worth noting that it arrived right at the end of the spookiest month. November’s PlayStation charts will likely be a more accurate reflection of its standings, and it’s also available on PC via the Epic Games Store and on Xbox Series X|S.
