The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014 and remade for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, released in 2020, received its remaster in early 2024. Both titles have also made their way to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just last week.

The Last of Us Complete brings all of Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic narratives together in one package, marking another re-release that aligns with HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, premiering its first episode this Sunday. Season 3 was greenlit just yesterday.
