HBO’s TV adaptation of The Last Of Us has been remarkably successful so far, earning rave reviews and high marks from viewers. As noted by GamesIndustry.biz, it looks like the hit series has also sparked interest in gaming, with sales of The Last Of Us Part 1 jumping over 200% on PS5 and Remastered (the PS4 version of the game) rising by more 300% in the UK box office charts.
These increased numbers pushed the PS5 version of the game to number 20 in the UK chart, and the PS4 version to number 32. Neither had charted the previous week. If you’re curious, the top five games on the chart were Fire Emblem Engage, FIFA 23, God of War Ragnarok, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In addition to the game that inspired the series, the biggest on the rise in the stops were Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Battlefield 2042.
The series that adapts the story of The Last of Us premiered this month on HBO and has actor Pedro Pascal, from Game of Thrones, starring in the lead role alongside Bella Ramsay. With a positive evaluation among critics and the public, the program will feature 9 episodes, which can be followed through the television channel itself or streaming, HBO Max.
