Spider-Man reached 65,000 concurrent players on Steam upon its release, making it PlayStation’s second-biggest launch of an exclusive on PC. However, it’s still less than God of War, but above Horizon Zero Dawn, which saw about 56,000 players.

God of War saw about 76,000 players on Steam concurrently.

The remastered version of Spider-Man was developed by Nixxes, a studio that Sony acquired back in 2021. It was released on August 12, 2022.

Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations, Insomniac Games, Ryan Schenider said in a post on the PlayStation blog: “We’re grateful to our PlayStation studios partner studio Nixxes Software for fully optimizing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for PC.

“Our production team has been thrilled with Nixxes’ collaborative spirit and commitment to quality. We see a lot of ourselves when working with Nixxes.”

Nixxes Founder and Senior Director of Development, Jurjen Katsman, said: “I am extremely pleased with our collaboration with Insomniac on the Marvel’s Spider-Man series, the shared support provided between our teams and their dedication to quality above all is inspiring.”
