A PlayStation 5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 has reportedly been added to the console's database.
As spotted by reputable social media account PlayStation Game Size, which is known for sourcing this type of information, a PS5 version of the PlayStation 4 exclusive has been added to the backend of the PlayStation Network.
While The Last of Us Part 2 was enhanced for PlayStation 5 back in 2021, it was not a native port. Rumours continue to swirl that such an edition is — perhaps — on the cards.
Just last month, reference to a «remastered» version The Last of Us Part 2 was spotted on the LinkedIn profile of a Naughty Dog developer.
Meanwhile, earlier in the year, The Last of Us composer Gustavo Santaolalla made comments about «new editions» of 2020's sequel. As part of an interview in July, the composer alluded to an updated edition of Part 2, in which players would be able to interact with his character in Jackson.
«In the new editions you can make me play certain themes,» Santaolalla said of his banjo-playing cameo in the game. He stopped short of revealing any more details, however.
PS5 = PS5 Native Version
Should a native PlayStation 5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 indeed come to fruition, it would follow in the footsteps of its predecessor. The Last of Us originally released for the PlayStation 3, before being remastered for the PS4. Then, last year, a PlayStation 5 version was released with the longer title The Last of Us Part 1.
Eurogamer has asked Sony for further comment.
Elsewhere in The Last of Us news, it seems like HBO may be on the cusp of casting its Abby for the show's second season.
Kaitlyn Dever, who played Cassie Drake in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, is reportedly «in talks» for the role, having previously auditioned for the part of Ellie.

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.

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.
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.
