Update: Here’s the debut trailer following hot on the heels of yesterday’s official reveal.
Well, it’s no secret that we have been working night and day at the studio to bring The Last of Us to PS4.
We’re calling it The Last of Us Remastered.
Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements. We love setting challenging technical hurdles for us when working on each game – and this is no different. We’ve been working hard on The Last of Us Remastered to release a next-gen evolution worthy of the 200+ Game of the Year awards, not to mention the acclaim and expectations of our fans. We will be revealing more detailed information about the upgrades for the PS4 version in the coming months.
In addition to all the technical updates, we’re also including an exclusive director’s commentary for all in-game cinematics featuring Creative Director and Writer, Neil Druckmann; Voice Actor, Troy Baker, who plays Joel; and BAFTA Award winning Voice Actress, Ashley Johnson, who plays Ellie.
We’ve released a ton of additional content since The Last of Us launched in June 2013, including our first ever single player expansion, Left Behind. We’re happy to say that the major content releases will be included with The Last of Us Remastered:
- Left Behind single player expansion
- Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack
- Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included
Whether you are new to The Last of Us or have played it already on the PS3, we hope you are all looking forward to this release. We are!

free cross buy?
I need a PS4, urgent!!!!
This is too epic to explain
30 FPS or 60 FPS?
We are targeting 60fps.
Will you offer any digital download discount for owners of the PS3 digital version?
Is there online cross play?
Can you show us a video showing the improvements like the Tomb Raider team did? Thanks.
We will be sharing more about it in the coming weeks.
Can’t wait to get back into factions. Good to hear we are getting all the DLC.
:)
Will you be re-releasing the post pandemic edition?
No, that was a limited run.
My favorite game of the last generation on my newest console? hell yeah
An upgrade option for US$ 10 would be fantastic already.
60FPS right?!
I got the game and season pass for ps3! This needs to be cross buy! or at least put an upgrade option!
No 60fps?
30 or 60 FPS?
I still have my last of us disc WITH the season pass though
DLC Drop 3 is coming yet. More news on that very soon.
Yes yes yes yes yes!! This’ll look good in my week old PS4.
Yes! Great news I cannot wait to play this game all over again!
Looking forward to this release. My PS4 has been doubling as a paperweight lately since I’m still playing more games on my PS3.
YES. Hope we get a release date soon. Early summer, maybe. :)
The fact that the frame-rate is not mentioned leads me to believe it will still be 30FPS. Still Day One for me.
Nope. We are targeting 60fps.
So glad i kept my hopes of this coming to PS4. Never had a chance to get it on PS3.
I hope you get to make a new special edition like the first post-pandemic edition. I wouldn’t miss it this time.
Now we just need to hear about Remasters for Dark Souls 2 and GTA V.
I wouldn’t mind South Park on PS4 either.
Cross buy ?
No cross buy or discount at all?
Awesome! Will multiplayer progress carry over from the PS3 version?
It will not. We’ll be discussing multiplayer plans in the near future.
Anyone hoping for cross-buy or a discount is going to be incredibly disappointed. I mean, it’s great that it’s coming to PS4, but for $60? I think I’ll pass.
any discount?
everyone already have thin on ps3.
I’m soooo gonna double dip and get this for my PS4! Question: Will ya’ll release a Post Pandemic Edition for the PS4 Remaster of The Last of Us?
No post pandemic edition planned for PS4. Sorry!
If there was an upgrade offer like there was for BF4, Ghosts, and Black Flag, that would be just great.
Cross buy please! I’d definitely shell out for a PS4 copy, but it would be nice if we didn’t have to pay full price for a game we already own.
An option to upgrade from the digital PS3 edition would be very awesome! Great news on the release!
Pretty cool. I just bought a sealed copy on PS3 for $35 so I’ll be fine with that until I upgrade to PS4 (not for another year or two most likely.)
So excited. Someone please post the cover art as a wallpaper!
Those are happening!
PLEASE BE 60FPS
The preorder portion is like a skidmark on an otherwise fresh and crisp, right out of the laundry official announcement. You see the trends Sony, at least on your first party releases go against the grain, and stop this preorder nonsense. Wouldn’t it be awesome to be known as the company that doesn’t put up with anti consumer tactics of this sort?
Anyways, looking forward to double dipping on this.
My support for you ND ends here.This is some bulls**t…its sad to see Sony being so f****n greedy.
Definetely buying this again!
Yes!! I just pre-ordered it on Amazon!! Although I own a PS3 I never did get around to buying it. Hopefully we’ll see some footage/images soon. Let’s face it, the PS3 version looked impressive enough to begin with :D
Better not expect people to pay 60 bucks for a year old game just because you made it look prettier like with Tomb Raider.
3D? TLOU is the perfect game for it. Too bad most people don’t/can’t buy 3D games.
Glad I didn’t play Left Behind now so I can play it on the PS4.
I WILL double dip!!!
Well never got around to getting it for ps3 so thank you.
A few questions
1) Is this cross save with the ps3 version
2) Will this have a discount of some sort for people who have brought the ps3 version
3)Will it fun at 60FPS
4) Will the multiplayer servers be separate to the ps3 ones or joined together
But im super excited for it still
Fantastic news! I never owned a PS3 as I was an XBox guy since the original one. Then I switched to the PS4 (love it!) and this was the ONE GAME I was hoping would somehow make it to the platform. Thanks for making this happen, guys!! :-D
I don’t really want these remasters to become too much of a trend but this game definitely deserves it, can’t wait!
I repurchased a PS3 to play TLOU but I am going to double dip for the PS4 version for sure.
Dear Sony and Naughty Dog,
I usually don’t double dip but this game is simply the best thing I’ve ever played. I’m a shameless Naughty Dog fan because I’ve never been let down. Now if only Sony could get Crash back and ND could make at least 1 more game. At least put together a team to do one. PLEASE!!!! I NEED THIS! At least remaster the first 4 games. Give CTR online play also. I wanna crush the world!
I know this is all far fetched but you’d be making tons of people proud. I know you can do it Sony! Make.Believe
Love,
