Shopping for current generation video games often comes down to a simple question: which console do you actually own? That question is exactly what separates these two head-to-head picks. The Batman Arkham Trilogy for Nintendo Switch gives you three full games in one package. Sony's The Last of Us Part II for PlayStation 5 is a single game for that console. Both are listed as brand new, and the price spread is small: a $0.84 gap separates them. That makes the console in your living room the bigger decision.
Quick verdict
If you own a Nintendo Switch and want the most game for your money, grab the Batman Arkham Trilogy. If your primary console is a PlayStation 5, The Last of Us Part II is the better fit.
Comparison
| Game | Price | Price Bar | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batman Arkham Trilogy Nintendo Switch Complete Edition | $26.84 | Switch owners who want a complete trilogy | |
| Sony The Last of Us Part II Remastered (PlayStation 5) | $26.00 | PS5 owners who want a remastered single game |
Where Batman wins
The Batman Arkham Trilogy gives you Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight. If you haven't played these games, you're getting a full trilogy for roughly the same money as the other game in this head-to-head. The package is built for Nintendo Switch, and it's an Action & Adventure collection. That makes it a strong option if your current generation video game system is the Switch.
Where The Last of Us wins
The Last of Us Part II is a PlayStation 5 release published by Sony. It's a direct choice if you already have a PS5 and want one game rather than a three-game collection. That platform fit makes it most useful to players who own a PS5.

If you're shopping for current generation video games on a Switch, this trilogy delivers a lot of value. You get three full action-adventure games in one package: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. That's a full trilogy in a single purchase, so you don't need to buy separate cartridges. It carries a Mature rating, which means it's aimed at adult players. One thing to keep in mind: it's built for Nintendo Switch, so it will not run on a PlayStation 5. If you don't own a Switch, this is not the right choice. For Switch owners who want a complete story arc, the Batman Arkham Trilogy is a strong pick.

This is the PS5 release in the head-to-head, and it's the current-generation version of The Last of Us Part II. It's published by Sony, which fits naturally into a PlayStation 5 library. If you only own a PS5 and want a single game, this is the easier fit. The limitation is that the game is tied to PlayStation 5 hardware, so you can't play it on a Nintendo Switch. It's also one game rather than a full trilogy, so if you're after multiple games in one box, the Batman collection gives you more content. Choose this one when your console is already a PS5 and you want a single game for it.
Final choice by use case
- You own a Nintendo Switch and want three games in one box: choose the Batman Arkham Trilogy Nintendo Switch Complete Edition.
- You own a PlayStation 5 and want a single game: choose The Last of Us Part II.
- You want the most content per purchase: The Batman Arkham Trilogy.
