The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition - PS5
Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete offers the complete narrative that inspired the hit HBO TV series. The bundle features enhanced graphics and gameplay improvements, leveraging the power of the PS5 console. The official description states, “Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games.”
The Last of Us Complete includes both mainline stories and all the bonus content released over the years. This encompasses the Left Behind prequel DLC focused on 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 comprehensive digital bundle is available for $99.99.
In a recent PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog's Head of Studio, Neil Druckmann, announced the physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set to launch on July 10 for $109.99. Pre-orders are currently available. This special edition includes a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a thank-you letter from Druckmann.
Expressing gratitude, Druckmann stated, “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.”
Since its debut on the PS3 in 2013, The Last of Us series has remained a beloved part of the PlayStation catalog, despite criticism from some quarters regarding its multiple re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie saw enhanced graphics on the PS4 in 2014 and a complete remake on the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, which continued Ellie's story, was released in 2020 and remastered 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 just last week.
The Last of Us Complete consolidates all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic content into a single offering, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the timing, it aligns perfectly with the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 receiving the green light just yesterday.
For those eager to delve deeper into The Last of Us universe, you can explore why fans aren't expecting news on The Last of Us Part 3 soon, and how Druckmann and the team behind the show might expand the story in future seasons.
