The Last of Us Part II is PlayStation Studios’ fastest-selling PS4 game

The pent-up demand for The Last of Us Part II resulted in some massive sales numbers for the sequel. Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed today that it sold 4 million copies of developer Naughty Dog’s grim and grueling PlayStation 4 game in its first three days on the market. That makes it the fastest-selling first-party PlayStation release ever.

This is the latest in a string of record hits for Sony’s PlayStation Studios. In May 2018, God of War became Sony’s fastest-selling PS4 game with 3.1 million copies in three days. In September of that year, Spider-Man then bested it with more than 3.3 million copies in the same amount of time. Now, The Last of Us Part II delivered a significant jump over those blockbusters.
