Recent statistics report that The Last of Us on HBO has broken new records and is becoming the most popular video game adaptation.
It can be said that The Last of Us on HBO is the discovery of 2023. Even a year ago, all the trailers seemed really promising and, as it turns out, HBO did not disappoint.
The series is beating many other titles to the punch, and curiosity about the title comes with each new episode on the platform. Recently, sources revealed that TLOU is slowly approaching the popularity of Arcane, a series on Netflix in collaboration with Riot and League of Legends.

Thanks to this, from the latest data we are able to conclude that The Last of Us published by HBO is doing really well and is currently one of the best-serialized video game adaptations.
The source shows that only Arcane ranks ahead of TLOU. Only later Halo stands in third place with only almost 12% popularity score. This, of course, applies to series.
However, when it comes to movies, Uncharted, with 19%, is the most popular adaptation of all time. Still, it ranks behind Arcane and The Last of Us in the overall ranking.
Does The Last of Us have a chance to overtake Arcane? It all depends on whether the series brings even more excitement in the next episodes, which will lure more people. For now, TLOU is doing really well, but steadily, and it’s worth recalling that there was a huge craze for Arcane, which increased with each successive episode. Besides, the League of Legends community is really huge, so it is capable of keeping Arcane at this level for a long time to come.
