The year also delivered several blockbuster titles and surprise hits. “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” became a virtual social hub. “Cyberpunk 2077,” long hyped as the game of the decade, arrived with bugs and less flash than anticipated; many players have since demanded refunds from its maker, CD Projekt Red. Meanwhile, the PlayStation hit “The Last of Us Part II,” which centers on queer women (including the game’s main character, Ellie) and features a transgender character, broke sales records for Sony, selling over 4 million copies in its first three days.
