Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, *The Last of Us Complete* promises an unparalleled gaming experience.

This encompasses the Left Behind prequel DLC centered around Ellie, as well as The Last of Us Part 2's No Return and Lost Levels content. For fans of the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, this digital bundle offers a complete dive into the games that inspired the show, available for $99.99.
According to a post on PlayStation.Blog by Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann, the physical *The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition* is slated for release on July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders available now. This edition comes packed with additional collectibles to enhance your experience, including a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a heartfelt thank-you letter from Druckmann himself.
Druckmann expressed his gratitude, stating, "From our entire studio, thank you so much for your incredible support for The Last of Us and Naughty Dog over the years. This is such an exciting moment for both the franchise and our teams. We are so humbled by your personal stories of what the series has meant to you, have marveled at your incredible Photo Mode shots, and inspired to keep pushing ourselves forward to create more stories and worlds you’ll love."
Originally launched on the PS3 in 2013, The Last of Us series has cemented its place as a beloved part of the PlayStation catalog, though its numerous re-releases and remasters have sparked discussions among fans and critics. The journey of Joel and Ellie evolved with improved graphics on the PS4 in 2014 and was later remade for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, released in 2020, received its own remaster in early 2024. Both titles have also made their way to PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered launching just last week.
With *The Last of Us Complete*, Naughty Dog brings all its post-apocalyptic offerings together in a single package, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the repeated revisits to Joel and Ellie's world, the timing aligns with the premiere of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 greenlit just yesterday.
