Forums - Sales Discussion - The Last Of Us franchise will soon pass 40 million units sold

CloudxTifa on 12 March 2023

HBO's successful adaptation of the video game has introduced a wider audience to the gripping story of Joel and Ellie's post-apocalyptic journey. Developed by Naughty Dog, the game has won multiple awards and been praised for its story, innovative gameplay, and impressive graphics.

With over 37 million copies sold worldwide as of December 2022, the game's success is also reflected in its sales figures. According to GameIndustry.biz, week over week sales have increased by as much as 322% since the HBO TV series premiere. As a result, sales for The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Remastered are moving up the charts in the US, UK, and EU. Based on early reports, it is projected that sales will reach 40 million copies by the end of the final March 12th episode. It will be interesting to see the actual sales figures in the coming weeks and the extent to which the show has impacted the game's already impressive success.

Just to note, the 37M number was for The Last of Us franchise, and not just Part One. However, I think that TLOU Part I (original, remaster, remake, PC port) could end up selling 40M - 50M units combined.

Please change the thread title. This is about both games and the remake combined.

Adjusted your title.

That said, probably best to wait until the new totals come along. Definitely a safe bet that it is nearing 40 million (or surpassed it already), but just for clarity.

+ One remaster.

Also, I'm curious about something, does Sony add the number of downloads from PS+ freebies to the tally ?

Very good numbers! I’ve only played the PS4 version of the original myself. For curiosity’s sake, does anyone know any ballpark estimates for how each part of the series has sold? IE, the original, part 2, and the remake separately?
