We’ve been hearing for nearly a couple of years now that a remastered version of The Last of Us Part 2 is in development for PS5, and yet more evidence has emerged that the acclaimed Naughty Dog title could indeed be getting a native release on Sony’s current-gen console in the not-too-distant future.
X user PlayStation Game Size – a page that tracks the PlayStation Store – has reported finding a native PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 on the PlayStation Store backend, suggesting that an announcement of a remastered release could be around the corner.
This is far from the only evidence we’ve had of a PS5 release of the action-adventure title. Earlier this year, The Last of Us composer Gustavo Santaolalla let slip that a new and expanded version of the game was in development, while a remaster of the title was also spotted on the profile of a Naughty Dog artist not long afterward.
With The Game Awards coming up soon, one has to wonder whether Sony is finally ready to announce the long-awaited remaster of The Last of Us Part 2. Whether its PS5 release will also be accompanied by a PC port remains to be seen, but given the fact that HBO’s The Last of Us is getting its second season in 2025, we wouldn’t be surprised to see that happening, similar to how the company handled the first game’s remake.
The Last of Us Part 2 is available on PS4, and has sold 10 million copies as of June last year. Read our review of the game through here.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered's new roguelike mode is inspired by a "renaissance of roguelikes."
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is set to grace PlayStation 5 consoles next month, and fans can also look forward to experiencing three ‘lost levels’ — playable sequences cut from the original game. Speaking about these levels, director Matthew Gallant teased that they’ll help give “a full idea of what could have been.”
The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrives for the PlayStation 5 console on January 19, 2024. With it comes a slew of new behind-the-scenes content, technical enhancements to leverage the PS5 hardware, and new modes to ensure that whether you’re experiencing the award-winning sequel’s story for the first or fifth time, there’s something new to discover.
The brand-new No Return mode will come with six bosses to unlock when it arrives on PS5 next month. The bosses and other mode unlocks are part of the first large information drop on the single-player roguelike survival mode, which is one of many new additions to the Remastered version of the game.

The Last of Us Part II is getting remastered for the PS5 with bonus content, and Naughty Dog has now dropped an overview trailer for its biggest addition. ‘No Return' is a roguelite mode that forces players into devastating situations — randomised encounters against swarms of the Infected, Clickers, and more, where each death would take you back to the starting point. There are 12 levels in total, based on memorable locations from the Seattle-set game, all building up to dramatic boss battles. As previously reported, the new version has enhancements for the PS5, including a native 4K output and unlocked framerates for displays with VRR. The Last of Part II Remastered releases January 19.
In June last year, it was confirmed that Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann’s next directorial single player project had entered development, and there’s been plenty of speculation since then about whether that game is going to be a third Last of Us entry. A story outline for a sequel has apparently been ready for a while, and leaks have also claimed that The Last of Us Part 3 is indeed in development– though an actor who has played a major role in both previous titles doesn’t seem to have started working on the game.
