The Last of Us Part II tops June 2020’s NPD list
Surprising pretty much no one, The Last of Us Part II topped the NPD Group’s list of best-selling games in June 2020.
Sony previously announced that Naughty Dog’s controversial sequel was the PlayStation 4’s fastest-selling first-party game, clocking 4 million copies in its first three days.
What’s perhaps more telling is that The Last of Us Part II is already the third best-selling game of 2020, coming in just behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Animal Crossing: New Horizons and beating out Final Fantasy VII Remake, which is now the fourth best-selling game of 2020 as of June.
As for the month-to-month numbers, The Last of Us Part II knocked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare out of the top spot from last month, making it the second best-selling game of the month. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mortal Kombat 11, and Red Dead Redemption II held steady in their positions of third, fifth, and sixth respectively.
The biggest gain was Ring Fit Adventure, which jumped up to the seven spot after ranking in as the 835th best-selling game last month due to a lack of supply.
