UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Beats Prince of Persia to the Podium

Some of early 2024's heavy-hitting new releases are launching, and as expected, they're making a decent impact on the UK's physical games chart. While first and second place seem to be perennially occupied by Hogwarts Legacy and EA Sports FC 24, The Last of Us: Part II Remastered takes a jolly good swing, making its debut in third place. Not a bad result for a single-format re-release.

I've been playing last of us 2 remastered and I'm enthralled with it. I enjoyed the first one and have not played the 2nd knowing they would release it on ps5 eventually, well worth the wait. The gameplay is just spot on along with the story telling/writing. Voice acting has some impressive performances, all in all great package.

isarai185d ago

Nah you're supposed to have pure seething hatred for the game and fuel controversy.

/s

The3faces185d ago

True just like Starfield, Hellblade 2 and now Indiana Jones.

RupeeHoarder185d ago

"True just like Starfield, Hellblade 2 and now Indiana Jones."

Starfield is a confirmed love/hate game. Hellblade 2 has to improve on the first one which is a love/hate game. Indiana Jones... Promising but I think people have the right to be disappointed it is a FPS and will feel less cinematic in nature than Uncharted.

Barlos185d ago

I don't hate it. I just don't like it. Mind you, I'm not a fan of the first game either. I think both games are very overrated.

Give me a sec, I'm just going to put my flame proof jacket on. I think it's going to get warm in here.

Maybe he just hasn't got to the other part that people rage about.

I'm replaying it for about the 4th time. The combat is second to none. Whatever Naughty Dog does next needs to have a heavy combat and stealth focus. The intensity of some of these skirmishes is something I just having felt in other games. God I wish there was a VR mode.

Ironmike185d ago

Best combat and ai makes think on fly

generic-user-name185d ago

Crazy how Sony can throw money at Capcom to get RE8/RE4 Remake in VR but can't get their own studios to do it.

Deeeeznuuuts185d ago

I haven't played the second one yet either, waiting for a little price drop

To me its best gMe I ever played this and part1

ModsDoBetter185d ago

Lots of first time players I'd imagine as PS5 sales increase.

Akira2020185d ago

Is the game woke? Unfortunately yes.
Is this one of the best games I've ever played? F**k yes, without a doubt.

outsider1624185d ago

Woke how if you dnt mind me asking?

BehindTheRows185d ago

Because it has lesbians, trans characters, and a muscular woman... Yes, that really is all it boils down to. A need to bitch about somethin'.

S2Killinit185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

Disagree with the woke part. Story has lesbian characters.

Tacoboto185d ago

A lesbian character we've known has been lesbian for a decade now at this point.

Can't say Part 2 is woke without saying Part 1 was woke as well, considering Bill's part in the story and Ellie's side story.

I'm a fan and frankly thats unbelievable even to me.

VersusDMC8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

It's the 2nd best selling NEW(2024 release) game of 2024. 10th best selling game of the year. Writer got confused by the wording.

https://www.videogameschron...

Still good sales though.

Eonjay8d ago

I saw a comment below about the $10 upgrade deal. If these counted as sales it be number 2 for the year. I forgot about that.

VersusDMC8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Disregard my comment. It's 2nd in the UK and 10th in all of europe. Gotta stop rush messaging during work

Is there a way to delete your own comments?

anast8d ago

It's a generational game for sure.

DarXyde7d ago

Same.

Loved the game, but there have been some real bangers this year.

seanpitt237d ago

Yeah this is due to how good the first game was.. a lot would have been disappointed in this game with it's direction

shinoff21838d ago

I've got part one for ps5 just waiting on part two to be a little cheaper. Great game , and series.

repsahj7d ago

Same here! Parts I & Part II are awesome. Yes, I was a little annoyed by what happened to Joel in Part 2, but I think that made the progression of the story better. No matter what the haters say, the game is a masterpiece. I also plan to replay part 2 on the PS5 version when it goes on sale.

neutralgamer19927d ago

So those fans who love part one and dislike part 2 are now hatets? I am sorry that some gamers demand that the game treat it's story and characters according to the boundaries the game itself set in the 1st game

No one has a issue with Joel being killed within the story people have issue with the way they handled it. But like you said it's a masterpiece and we are just haters because that's fits the narrative better

1st game is a true masterpiece and doesn't need a sequel (for me personally) just like RDR is a perfect game for me and doesn't need a sequel

To each their own

outsider16247d ago

@neutral
"..some gamers demand.." oh..so the writers should follow according to what "some of these gamers demand" ?? Ooh boy..God forbid a story created by the writers themselves be demanded to follow what gamers want.

"No one has an issue with joel being killed"
Im sorry but 80% WAS the reason for Joel being killed off.

"1st game is a true masterpiece and doesnt need a sequel"
Imo i do agree with this though..

CRASHBASHUK8d ago

wait are people that stupid to buy a reremaster?

Babadook78d ago

If you already own it the upgrade is cheap though.

shinoff21838d ago

As someone who prefers physical. Yes damn right I want the ps5 version. It isn't your money. Relax dog

anast8d ago

If you game you can't talk. We are all on the same stupid boat.

Bathyj8d ago

I paid a small amount to get the best version of an amazing game and did my 3rd playthrough. I'm fine with my choices.

And what's a reremaster?
I think you're getting confused with Part 1.

Flewid6388d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Why would I buy the old, outdated version of a game I've never played? lmao.

romulus237d ago

Because there's no possible way anyone who bought it was getting it for the first time, right?

DivineHand1258d ago

I didn't see the need to buy the PS5 version of the game because a 60 fps patch was already out on PS4. Hopefully the people who got the remastered version found some value in it.

outsider16248d ago

If im not mistaken, there's also a 4k patch to it? Along with the other mode, i forgot. Too bad i was actually looking forward to factions 2.0

BehindTheRows8d ago

The 60fps patch in the PS4 version lacks the 4K res and additional texture upgrades.

Good-Smurf8d ago

The biggest upgrade of remastered version over original is it loads much faster and the 4K fidelity mode is insanely crisp and pristine.

S2Killinit8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

The greatest series of games for me. And i dont say that lightly, some of the biggest titles to ever grace the screen are right up there but I thoroughly enjoyed TLOU1&2

I mean yeah we have known for a while now and this just validates it more. Nothing official yet but... c'mon let's not play dumb here. I'm more interested in the other titles tho, i wonder what those are.

Petebloodyonion44d ago

The information is confirmed, as Epic Games has made an official announcement on the matter.

"[Update] After publishing our story, we received a statement from Epic on this matter (via an Epic PR agency):

“We released an update tonight so third-party tools can’t surface any new unpublished product titles from the Epic Games Store catalog.”"

RaidenBlack43d ago

Since most PS4 titles are coming to PC (except Bloodborne, duh) ... would like if they port Shadowfall, 1886, Second Son and Uncharted trilogy to PC as well.

neutralgamer199244d ago

RDR would be an instant buy for me even though I have played it before

MajinRose1744d ago (Edited 44d ago )

The Last of us Part 2 better be steam deck compatible. 🙏🏾🙏

Yui_Suzumiya43d ago

For such a huge title, I would hope so

Cockney43d ago

The game released on ps4 without any modern raytracing or frame gen shenanigans and looked fantastic so I'm sure it'll run just fine

Yui_Suzumiya43d ago

None of these are a surprise though. We all they were eventually coming to PC.
