6 April 2026

The Last of Us won 2013 with 257 of 545 tracked Game of the Year awards — 47.2%, and the top spot in 26 of 45 countries. But a global majority is not a global consensus: 19 countries handed their most awards to something else, and 7 different games won at least one country outright. In Hungary, The Last of Us did not receive a single award.
