Three years afterThe Last Of Us Part 2launched and smashed all sorts of Game of the Year records, the critically acclaimed sequel is getting remastered for thePS5. It’s an unpopular decision for some people, but one that does make sense when you consider the timing of the original game’s launch, missing out on the PS5’s arrival by less than six months. There’s alsoa $10 upgrade track for anyone who already owns Part 2 on PS4, just like there has been for countless other games that have launched on last-gen and current-gen consoles.
If all you want to do is replay a better-looking version of the game and experience all the other extrasNaughty Dogwill be throwing in, and you already own The Last Of Us Part 2, then you’re able to pay $10 when the remaster launches on Jul 14, 2025. However, if you don’t already own Part 2, would like to own the remaster even though you already have thePS4version, or you’re interested in picking up the WLF Edition, then everything you need to know about pre-orders can be found below.
Since this isn’t a full remake, just a remaster, the Standard Edition of Part 2 - which will be available digitally and physically - is $49.99. Again, something a few gamers have turned their nose up at. However, if you don’t already own the sequel, that’s a pretty great price. Not only because it’s a PS5 game, but because of all the extra stuff Naughty Dog has included in the remaster. On top of better visuals and faster load times, the remaster will have a new roguelike mode called No Return, full DualSense support, and three lost levels that were cut in early development.
