The Last of Us Part 2 is receiving a PS5 remaster, elevating one of the top titles on the PlayStation 4 to the graphical and performance standards of the next-generation. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is scheduled for release on January 19. As expected, its new price point is drawing controversy. After all, how can Sony justify re-releasing a title that just came out in 2020 and sell it for $49 as if it's a new game? While this remains a contentious topic, the entire truth is that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered doesn't have to cost as much for a select few.
For those who already own the original version of the award-winning narrative-driven title on PlayStation 4, there's an existing upgrade pathway, regardless of whether you own a physical or digital copy of the game.
For a one-time fee, players who already own The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 can upgrade to the PS5-enhanced version.
Owners of The Last of Us Part 2 on PlayStation 4 can upgrade to The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PlayStation 5 for a small fee of $10 (£10 in the U.K.). This upgrade charge mirrors the one seen with the PS5 launch of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection in early 2022, another remaster from Naughty Dog.
