You probably don't need us to tell you this, but The Last of Us: Part II is selling extremely well. Last week, the game outsold the rest of the UK top 10 combined, and it sold through 4 million copies in its opening weekend. It should come as no surprise to learn it remains atop the UK physical chart, then. However, perhaps more interesting is the debut of another PlayStation exclusive.
Marvel's Iron Man VR lands at number two, which is pretty darn impressive. It must be remembered that this is a game only available on PS4, and only playable on PSVR. That's a relatively small group of consumers, but the game is doing the business, which is great to see. As always, these charts don't factor in digital sales, so it seems Camouflaj's VR action title has been a bit of a hit.
Elsewhere, your typical evergreen sellers like FIFA 20 and Grand Theft Auto V are still hanging around. SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has sunk from third to 12th position, and it's a similar story for The Last of Us Remastered, down from ninth to 14th.
Here's the latest top 10 in full.

Well deserved! The people trying to peddle the false narrative that this game is failing must be loath to discover the continued success of this great game.
and it has sold thru *over 4 million.
That besides, congrats at Naughty Dog, Sony Playstation and Camouflaj. Word up, son.
This is great news. If I'm being honest, I expected Iron Man VR to struggle to make the top 10. Hope it continues to do well. VR seems to be having a bit of a resurgence recently.
Also, I finished TLoU2 the other day. Incredible game.
That's a good start for Iron Man considering it's only tracking physical. I imagine most people prefer digital for VR games.
It would be cool if Part II remains No.1 until Ghost is released.
That’s a bit surprising, with PSVR having a lower install base than the Wii U.
Does Iron Man VR support non-VR play?
Edit: nvm just saw the box states PSVR is required.
Thank you for reminding me that Bravely Default End Layer came out. I’ve been so hooked on my PS4 this last few months I totally forgot that was out already.
What's going on GTA only no 5 cmon people, you need to buy this at least 10 times 😀😀😀. Fair play to iron Man no 2 didn't expect that thought maybe 8 at best, going to hold on for a bit on it myself not a massive superhero fan but enjoyed the demo.
I had this game spoiled for me but I'm willing to give it a shot on the ps5 remaster 2 years from now
Look at VR GO! Another one for the list for when I jump into PSVR next gen.
I have VR on PC and just for racing games it was worth the price.
And another great week for TLOU2. Fantastic game. So many directions and characters TLOU could take and use in the future
So good to see Iron Man VR doing well. I plan on picking it up here soon.
@KahnArtizt07 Bravely Second: End Layer is a 3DS game, Bravely Default 2 isn't out yet.
Wow, so much for TLOU2’s sales dropping off after a week and it failing to sell.
@FredBiletnikoff Yeah I realized that after I posted the comment and went to try to find it on the Eshop. I guess that explains why I didn’t hear about it coming out! Crazy that that older 3DS game cracked the charts. I actually forgot they made Bravely Second. I skipped it back when it came out because my friend told me it sucked.
@DualshockInfinit get it now you'll be very impressed, I'll be picking up the remaster for PS5 anyway as I'm sure many others will.
I swerved a lot of spoilers for TLOUII and deep into the game I'll say the story is up there with TW3 & RDR2, some people are so misleading and outright liars, dunno what the complaints were about and don't wanna know. Combined with the campaign length, I gotta say it's the best wide-linear game ever! For God's sake half of the game could've been DLC if ND were greedy, it's even worth more than £55 in comparison with yearly £60 sports games.
Great news, we need games that takes risk (story wise) like this to drive our medium forward, ignore the hater ND
@KahnArtizt07 It's because a major retailer in the UK was selling off its old stock for very low prices, like just a few pounds.
@Col_McCafferty It probably will considering it only as to keep number one for this week since GOT comes out next week.
@TheArt “wide-linear” I like that term! Definitely gonna use that one.
Not for long

@KahnArtizt07 I think PushSquare invented that term I dunno.
@MarcG420
It is mostly not failling because these sort of titles are bought mostly on the reputation of the first tittle.
The title piggybacks on the success of the first one. The only big one giv9ng this game a high score is IGN (surprise *dollah's) Most others reviewers are disappointed by the game.
@Dominatso that’s simply not true. 🤦♂️
@get2sammyb
I would imagine most of the sales for iron man will be physical due to the combo pack with the move controllers. I would have bought that pack regardless how good the game was. It is fantastic though which makes it even sweeter👌
@MarcG420
Then why did so many people buy into Fallout 76, because of those exact reasons my friend.
@Dominatso fallout 76 sold terribly, an awful example to try to use 😂😂

@MarcG420
I see what you mean but what i am talking about is the launch window,like how TLOU II just launched. Lots of people blindly bought it because of its brand name. Granted that TLOU II sold better.
