During the presentation to investors, Sony also revealed sales of PC versions of two games: Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and The Last of Us Part I.

The premiere of the series on The Last of Us led to a sharp increase in the daily audience of games, based on which the show was filmed. As noted in Newzoo, the DAU of the first part of the franchise* has grown especially strongly — by 300% at once.

This allowed the title to take 20th place in the British retail chart at the end of last week, according to GamesIndustry.biz with a link to the GfK data.

In the five years since the release of The Last of Us, 17 million copies of the game have been sold, making it the best-selling game released by Sony.
