Released earlier this year, God of War was the fastest- and best-selling game on PlayStation 4. It’s a record that the game held for around five months until Spider-Man came along, that is.
According to a report by USA Today, the game sold a record 3.3 million copies in three days since release, outperforming God of War by about 10%. As if holding one record is not enough, Spider-Man also holds the record of Sony’s most pre-ordered game, at one million.
Sony did not provide any official numbers, but from the report, we know that the special edition PS4 Pro was included in the record-breaking number. While the number of sales the game made was impressive, it’s of little surprise, really.

With the game still being pretty new, these numbers have nowhere to go but up.
