Four months later, Spider-Man: Miles Morales swings in at No.1

Anybody call for a web-slinger?

In an interesting turn of events, Insomniac Games’ pseudo-sequel Spider-Man: Miles Morales has clambered to the top of the UK C🍌harts, just over f𓆉our months after its initial November 2020 release.

Miles Morales’ belated arrival at the No.1 position comes after the UK received a major restock of PS5 releases, with the next-gen version of the open-world adventure accounting for 90% of all Spider-Man sales over the past week. , even if you discounted PS4 sales, our boy Morales would still have found himself in the top spot, usurping Nintendo’s Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury after one full month in the premier position.

The PS5 restock also saw a sales boost for other older releases, with the PS5 edition of Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate returning to the Top 40 at number 18, and Ubisoft’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising returning at number 14. It’s still very much a Nintendo-led Top Ten, however, with over 50% of the division taken up by Switch releases including , Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Ring Fit Adventure, Minecraft, and Super Mario 3D All-Stars – all of which will no doubt be joined by Capcom’s incoming Monster Hunter Rise in just a matter of weeks.
