The Last of Us Part II has sold more than 4 million copies in its first three days on the market. That makes it the fastest-selling first-party PS4 exclusive of all time.
The game’s director and the VP of Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, released a statement thanking fans for supporting the game:
We are so immensely grateful to the millions of fans around the world that have played The Last of Us Part II and shared their experiences with us over the last week. We set out to tell a new kind of story, one that deals with difficult themes and would challenge you in unexpected ways. Hearing how the experience has resonated with so many of you and witnessing the type of thoughtful discussions it has sparked has been so incredible. We’ve also been so inspired by your creativity — whether it’s your gorgeous Photo Mode shots, jaw-dropping gameplay GIFs, or the songs you’ve recorded using Ellie’s guitar.
The Last of Us Part II was made possible thanks to the efforts of the hundreds of talented and passionate developers here at Naughty Dog. We can imagine no greater honor than seeing that same passion mirrored by the people playing it. Thank you for helping us reach this amazing milestone.
Naughty Dog’s highly-anticipated action-adventure game was delayed twice this year. The game finally launched on June 19, seven years after the original PS3 game.
