Spider-Man: Miles Moraleshad plenty to live up to, as Insomniac’s firstSpider-Mangame delivered an excellent take on Peter Parker while also being a blast to play. Fortunately, Insomniac delivered once again with the release ofSpider-Man: Miles Morales, and the game’s sales reflect its popularity clearly.
Aside frombringing in several positive reviews,Spider-Man: Miles Moralesmanaged to sell a staggering 4.1 million copies in 2020 alone – a number made even more spectacular by the fact that the game launched in the middle of November. While this pales in comparison to the 3.3 million copies of the originalSpider-Manthat were sold in just three days, 4.1 million is an impressive sales number, nonetheless. Further,Spider-Man: Miles Moralesseems like it will have legs, continuing to sell well for some time to come.

WithSpider-Man: Miles Moralesbeing a cross-generational title, it makes sense that many would wait to purchase the young webslinger’s solo outing until they can get a PlayStation 5. WithPS5s continuing to sell outas soon as they become available, though, several hopeful adopters have yet to get a system of their own to play on. As such, several potential buyers ofSpider-Man: Miles Moraleshave not yet purchased the game either, meaning that the spinoff will likely continue to sell well for some time to come.
Still, the current sales for the game are wildly impressive, and while they are notbreaking records likeMarvel’s Spider-Mandid when it launched, the numbers prove that fans are interested in where the series will go next. WithSpider-Man: Miles Moralesadding depth to the gameplay through its hero’s Venom powers, trimming the fat from the open world, and telling a bold new story focused on Peter Parker’s protege, it is easy to see why the game has proven to be a hit with fans.
As for when players can expect to see Miles Morales and his mentor in action again, fans should prepare for a decently long wait. According toPeter Parker actor Yuri Lowenthal, dialogue has not yet been recorded for the sequel. Usually a sign that a game is early in development,Spider-Man: Miles Moralesfans will have to be patient, as Insomniac will likely have nothing to say about the game anytime soon. When it comes, though, having the two Spider-Men clashing with villains like Venom seems like a recipe for yet another sales success.
That said, withDLC forSpider-Man: Miles Moralesneither confirmed nor denied, there is still hope to see the heroes again soon. For now, though, fans will just have to continue theorizing and replaying the two high-sellingSpider-Mangames.
Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis available for PS4 and PS5.
