The Last of Us is once again the No.1 best-selling game at UK retail, thanks to the launch of this year’s Part 1 remake for PlayStation 5.<\/p>\n

Announced earlier this year, the game is a complete rebuild of the 2013 PlayStation 3 hit, with updated contents and mechanics, additional content (including the acclaimed Left Behind DLC) and expanded accessibility options.<\/p>\n

It sold around half the number of copies that Saints Row managed when it debuted at No.1 last week. That said, it’s not worth noting Volition’s reboot launched on a Tuesday while The Last of Us took a more traditional Friday slot. And, as always, these are only accounting for physical sales.<\/p>\n

Saints Row saw an 80% drop in sales compared to last week and falls to No.6.<\/p>\n

The Last of Us: Part 1 was the biggest launch out of five new titles, as the industry’s output ramps up in the run-up to Christmas.<\/p>\n

Also debuting this week was Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection at No.3, Frontier Developments’ F1 Manager 2022 at No.4, THQ Nordic’s Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed at No.16 and Bandai Namco’s Lego Brawls at No.30.\n<\/p>\n

PlayStation’s Horizon: Forbidden West held onto No.2, despite a 46% drop in sales since lase week.<\/p>\n
