The Last of Us Part 2 was one of the latest PS4 games from internal studios. As one of the console’s swan songs, it was expected to live up to high expectations, but Naughty Dog’s story caused controversy and controversy among fans.
While the game was far from a flop, receiving positive reviews and promising sales, recent leaks suggest that The Last of Us Part 2 may have suffered from a serious sales decline. According to some reports, the game sold about 10 million copies, giving way to its predecessor.
This data comes from Insomniac’s latest leaks, confirming sales figures for various PlayStation games, including Bloodborne’s total sales. But the other day, a little additional information appeared about the sales of some projects on PS 3.
The report states that sales of The Last of Us Remastered have exceeded 18 million copies. That’s a big difference, and it gets even bigger when you factor in the 8 million sales of the original PS3 version. It turns out that the first part sold 26 million copies.
But most of this difference is due to the long lifespan of the first game. The second part hit the market just three years ago, while the first game is approaching its 11th anniversary.
The Last of Us Part 2 had several strengths. This was a more ambitious game that lasted twice as long as the first. But, apparently, not everyone agreed with Druckmann’s ideas, which resulted in such low indicators.
Despite its shortcomings, The Last of Us Part 2 was a smash hit for PlayStation. Following a successful television adaptation earlier this year, the game has seen a huge surge in sales.
Naughty Dog is ready to revive this game by releasing a remaster in 2024. A remaster for PS5 and a likely subsequent launch on PC could create a new wave of excitement around The Last of Us Part 2 and bring it closer to the sales figures of its predecessor.
