As fans of The Last of Us Part 2 prepare for the upcoming release of the new Remastered version, owners of the original edition are probably wondering if Sony is offering a way to upgrade? Fortunately for fans, the quick answer to that question is: yes, Sony is offering owners of The Last of Us Part 2 a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive option to upgrade.

This news is good news for fans hoping that Sony will continue the trend of offering upgrades for remasters and “Director’s Cut” versions of games to players who have already purchased the original release. Like many of these games, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will feature a number of new features, including Lost Levels and a new rouge-like mode called No Return. This guide will help players navigate the update process and let them know when to expect the process to be officially available.

How to upgrade to The Last of Us 2 Remastered?

The process of updating The Last of Us 2 is relatively simple, although many players may not even realize it’s an option. However, the game’s official PlayStation Store page confirms that players can upgrade the title for ten dollars. It is important to note that the indicated update price is in US dollars, so there will be separate, local prices, which, for example, may differ from the price simply converted to HUF at the current exchange rate. Sony has announced that localized pricing will be available on release day.

As Sony has done with other recent update options such as the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, players will find an “update” option within the PlayStation Store itself. This will appear similarly to DLC purchases, a separate icon within the store will indicate the option to purchase the update. The purchase process will be the same as in any other PlayStation Store.

Update for physical copies of The Last of Us 2

Sony makes it clear that while the update is available to owners of the physical version, it only works with PS5s that have a physical disc drive. This is because players will need to insert the physical disc every time they want to play The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.

When should you update The Last of Us Part 2?

Players can upgrade The Last of Us Part 2 to the Remastered version on January 19, 2024, the release date. Be sure to check out the PlayStation Store and then follow the steps listed above to complete the update process.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be released on January 19, 2024 for PS5.
