Last Of Us Part 2 holds top of the UK gaming charts

The Last Of Us Part II has topped the UK gaming charts for another week (via GamesIndustry). Naughty Dog’s action-horror sequel broke records when it launched, amassing 73% more sales than the PS3 original, has managed to stay on top despite seeing a drop in sales of 53%.

Iron Man VR has made it into the second position, highlighting both the growing popularity of VR gaming and the unstoppable appeal of Marvel franchises. Though, another reason for its success may be that it is the only physical release of this week.

Fighting back after dropping to number 12 last week, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is this week’s number three. Sales of Nintendo’s cutesy life-sim game rose 116% over the last week, no doubt in part to the latest update which allows player to swim in the ocean, amongst other things.

Nintendo has performed well elsewhere, with older 3DS titles breaking into the charts. Stock clearance sales are behind this sudden spike, with Bravely Second: End Layer performing best and reaching number four.
