What is the release date for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is scheduled to be released on January 19, 2024, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. While there have been some rumors surrounding a potential PC version in the works, it's yet to be officially announced by Naughty Dog or PlayStation. Pre-orders for the game are scheduled to go live on December 5, 2023.

Much like the recently released The Last of Us Part 1 (remake) for the PS5, the upcoming remaster is available as a standalone purchase for new players. However, there's also a dedicated upgrade path for those who already own the PS4 version of the sequel.

If you already own the game on PlayStation 4, you can simply upgrade to the Standard Edition of the remaster for $10. This falls in line with other PS4 to PS upgrades, such as Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, Death Stranding Director's Cut, God of War Ragnarok, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales.

Players will also be able to import their saves from the PlayStation 4 version to the PS5 remaster.
