PlayStation's recent spate of PC ports is coming along well, but they still have a long way to go. Last week, on April 3, 2025, PlayStation Publishing finally brought The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered to PC. This follows its 2023 PC release of the original TLOU, and is part of a wider industry trend that's seen tons of Sony- and Microsoft-published games going multi-platform instead of sticking to their proprietary consoles. Most recently, Sony announced new Patapon and Everybody's Golf releases for Switch, while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gears up for its PS5 release. 1a2y5x

After nearly five years, The Last of Us Part 2finally arrives on PC in the form of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. With HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 also debuting in April, it makes perfect sense for PC players to experience the direct source material. For the first time, PC s can witness the dark, shocking, and brilliant moments of the single-player campaign. There's even extra content like more No Return characters to play as, but PC s are aware of one nagging element in Sony's PC releases.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC is releasing on April 3, and players with a PlayStation Network will receive bonuses from Sony, including a skin from Naughty Dog's project. Connecting a PSN isn't required to play the PC game, something Sony learned after the Helldivers 2 PSN controversy, but the publisher still wants to incentivize players in the PlayStation online ecosystem.

New leaked photos from the set of HBO's The Last of Us all but confirm how much of the game will be covered in season 2 (and how faithful it'll be).

Spoilers are ahead for The Last of Us Part 2 and, potentially, The Last of Us season 2.When I heard that The Last of Us season 2 would be shorter than the show's first outing, I felt relieved. The Emmy-winning HBO series' slim 7-episode order — and the way co-creator Craig Mazin has talked about the abridged sophomore installment — indicate a carefully plotted story that spans multiple seasons. Set to adapt some of the material in Naughty Dog's bestselling video game, The Last of Us Part II, the post-apocalyptic drama's second season has a lot more to juggle in of both the game's inventive narrative structure and nuanced world-building.

A new mode added to The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered called No Return puts you in a series of rogue-like survival missions, which you can tackle with characters you unlock from previous runs. These heroes all have unique abilities and weapons to take advantage of. Mixing and matching gear at the Hideout with these characters will help you make the perfect build for your next run.

Rewards from new boss encounters, hero skins, and game-changing mods are all available in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered when you complete different challenges in the roguelike No Return mode. The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remasteredis a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of TLOU 2, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.

The major draw of No Return, the new roguelike game mode added to The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, is being able to use character players have heretofore been unable to control. Abby, Ellie, and Joel are all unsurprisingly among the No Return roster, ed by Dina, Jesse, Tommy, Lev, Yara, Mel, and Manny. While randomized gauntlets of encounters are sure to keep the game mode dynamic, it's made all the more varied by each character also having their own playstyle, complete with different starting equipment and traits.

Just three-and-a-half years after Naughty Dog's magnum opus was first released, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered brings it to the PlayStation 5 with a host of improvements and new content. Nothing about this latest release is revolutionary, but that doesn't stop TLOU 2 from maintaining its position among gaming's best-told stories. The meticulously crafted adventure is still emotionally exhausting, and its gameplay remains engaging if at times subdued. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the definitive version of the sequel that Screen Rant reviewed with a perfect score, and will be sure to please longtime fans hoping to revisit Ellie and Abby's story.
