huge leaks and spoilers were posted on the internet.
Along with a requirement for any PS4 game starting this July.
In an interview with CNET, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan confirmed that June's release of TLOU 2 will run on the PS5 "without issue." Ryan did not specify whether a visually enhanced edition would be made for the PS5, similar to how the original received a remaster on the PS4. While Ryan did say that Sony hopes The Last of Us: Part II will be "a defining game for this generation", he clarified that the June 4th reveal will focus on "games you'll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday".
While the game is sure to be a commercial success, The Last of Us: Part II has had its share of controversies and drama in the build-up to its delayed release. Before the game banned in the Middle East, likely for its violence and sexual content, including an LGBT relationship.
As the release date finally draws close, fans that might have been on the fence of buying a PS4 game only months out from the PS5 hitting shelves can now consider the prospect of starting a game on one console and finishing it on the other (although it hasn't been confirmed that save files will transfer). One of the most tedious aspects of the PS3 was its rigidity in both forward and backwards compatibility, and it's refreshing to see that Sony has worked out this kink--at least for such a major release as The Last of Us: Part II.
