Naughty Dog and PlayStation recently celebrated The Last of Us Day. As part of this special day for fans of Ellie and Joel, they decided to launch The Last of Us: Part I on PlayStation Plus. Now, Extra and Premium subscribers can relive or enjoy the acclaimed game for the first time.
The game's arrival on the service was a huge success, as The Last of Us: Part I is experiencing one of its best moments since its release. We know that its player base skyrocketed by over 1200% thanks to its availability through a PlayStation Plus subscription.
The Last of Us is more popular than ever thanks to PlayStation Plus
Subscription services have repeatedly shown that they can significantly boost the player base of certain titles. This has happened multiple times with Xbox Game Pass, and now we see that PlayStation Plus can have the same effect.
The Last of Us gained significant popularity recently thanks to PlayStation Plus. According to recent reports, The Last of Us: Part I saw a 1225% increase in its player base after being added to the subscription service.
Because of this, the remastered version is now one of the most successful releases on the service so far this year. Despite being a game that many have already experienced, it became the third most impactful game on PlayStation Plus in 2024.
For now, it’s only surpassed by Dave the Diver and The Plucky Squire, two recent releases that occupy the first and second spots, respectively. We also know that The Last of Us: Part I is the ninth most prominent title on the subscription platform.
This news may surprise some players, as The Last of Us: Part I initially faced criticism for being considered an unnecessary release. However, its PlayStation Plus numbers clearly show that the franchise’s popularity has not waned over the years.
