Further evidence of a native PS5 version of has seemingly emerged.
PlayStation Game Size has frequently found its way into the PlayStation’s backend to uncover any unannounced additions to the database, and this time, it claims to have found a native PS5 version of Naughty Dog’s epic 2020 sequel to its most celebrated game.

The Last of Us Part 2 was released on the PS4 in the same year as the PS5 console, but didn’t receive a PS5 version upgrade like other recent first-party exclusives such as Marvel’s Spider-Man and Ghost of Tsushima. In fact, it’s the last of Naughty Dog’s PS4 titles to get a PS5 upgrade, with Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy getting ports, while The Last of Us got a snazzy remaster with quality-of-life fixes and improved character models.
The PS4 version was, however, able to run at a higher frame rate on PS5 thanks to a free performance patch. The PS5 version may come with a wider array of improvements akin to the jump made between The Last of Us on PS3, and The Last of Us Remastered on PS4.
Last year, there were reports Naughty Dog was making The Last of Us Part 2: The Director’s Cut, and this year, the game’s composer seemed to confirm a PS5 version was in the works.
So it’s a poorly kept secret at this point, and the only things we don’t know are when it’s coming and what improvements it will bring. That it’s been added to the database does suggest it could be revealed sooner rather than later.
For now, you can still buy and play The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 and PS5 in its native PS4 version.

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.

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.
Some of the material which will feature in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered's Lost Levels is also planned to appear in the second season of HBO's show, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann has teased.
