Like it or not, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is on its way. This spruced-up version is set to land on January 19 and will be up for grabs both digitally and physically. For PS4 owners of the original game, here’s the good news: You can get this PS5 update for just $10. But what about PC gamers? We’ve got the lowdown on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam.
Before we dive into details, be sure to peek at our guide, where we’ve gathered all the updated details. And don’t miss out on Naughty Dog’s latest information about The Last of Us Online.
Is The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam?
Nope, PC gamers, hold your horses — the new update for The Last of Us Part 2 is not heading your way just yet. This January 19 launch is exclusively for PlayStation 5 fans. Naughty Dog’s keeping the new version of its gem as a PS5 exclusive for the time being. So, those daydreaming about The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam, you’ve got a bit of a wait ahead.
But is this the final word? Not quite. We reckon this update will make its way to PC within a year, similar to TLOU Part 1. Patience is key here. Our bets are on seeing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam by late 2024 or early 2025.
In the meantime, why not brush up on memorising all the safe codes in the second game? It’ll be a great way to pass the time.
Can You Play TLOU Part 2 Remastered on PS4?
No, the new update is a PS5 exclusive. So even if you’ve got the original The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4, you’re out of luck for the remastered version. This upgrade is tailor-made for the PS5, with graphical enhancements that just can’t be squeezed into the older console’s limits.
Don’t get it mixed up with Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, which rolled out recently. That update came at no extra cost. But for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, especially with fresh game modes like “No Return”, you’ll need to splash some cash on the PS5 version.
How Much Does The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered Cost?
While we can’t jump into The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam, there’s a silver lining with its pricing. Naughty Dog has a pricing strategy that’s a win-win for both long-time fans and newcomers. Here’s how you can get your hands on this remastered gem:
- As an upgrade — $10
- Digital copy — $49.99
- Psychical copy — $49.99
Already own the original The Last of Us Part 2 from 2020 on PS4? Upgrade to the PS5 Remaster for just $10. Simply head over to the PlayStation Store and snag the upgrade.
Are you new to the game or want to start fresh? The remastered version’s price tag is a cool $49.99. Considering today’s standard triple-A game prices hover around $79.99, this is a sweet deal. It’s particularly awesome for those who haven’t experienced Ellie’s new story yet.

Despite initial backlash, it’s turned into one of best new games of January 2024, at least in our books. We’re buzzing to dive back into this incredible story on PS5. Plus, we’re gearing up to tackle the No Return mode and will definitely be sharing our thoughts with you.
For the moment, that wraps up what we’ve got on The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on Steam. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates from Naughty Dog — we’ll pass them on as soon as we get them. In the meantime, why not check if Alan Wake 2 has made its way to Steam?
