Sony made 17 times more money from Spider-Man 2 on PS5 than on Steam – analysts

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 made over $1.2 billion on PS5, while the Steam version brought Insomniac Games just $70 million, despite selling 2.3 million copies throughout 2026.

According to Alinea Analytics, the game's total revenue across PS5 and Steam reached $1.3 billion. In total, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 sold 19.1 million copies. However, the vast majority of earnings came from Sony's console: PS5 sales brought in around $1.2 billion.

The Steam version made just $70 million, which accounts for 5.3% of total revenue. The result seems predictable given the game's underwhelming launch on the platform. In its first days, peak concurrent players were three times lower than those of the original game.

It is particularly telling that even in 2026, the game sold 2.3 million copies, yet the PC port never managed to surpass the $100 million revenue mark. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 remains the second most profitable PlayStation exclusive of the current generation.

These figures explain why Sony appears to be reconsidering its strategy of releasing its games on PC. Previously, references to a multiplatform strategy were removed from the company's financial report, and the creators of Saros have not yet commented on the possibility of a PC version. Revenue from ports lags significantly behind sales via the PlayStation Store.
