Priced at $109.99 at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete offers fans the definitive versions of these award-winning games. The bundle harnesses the power of the PS5 to deliver enhanced graphics and gameplay improvements. "Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games," states the official description, emphasizing the bundle's comprehensive nature.

The Last of Us Complete not only includes the mainline stories but also encompasses all the bonus content released over the years. This means players can enjoy the Left Behind prequel DLC, which focuses on Ellie, as well as The Last of Us Part 2’s No Return and Lost Levels content. For fans of the HBO TV series, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, the digital bundle is available for $99.99, offering an immersive dive into the source material.

In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog's Head of Studio, Neil Druckmann, shared that a physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition will launch on July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders available now. This edition includes additional perks such as 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.

Druckmann expressed gratitude in his post: "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."

The Last of Us series initially launched on the PS3 in 2013 and has since become a cherished part of the PlayStation catalog. Despite its enduring popularity, the game's multiple re-releases and remasters have sparked discussions among fans and critics alike. The journey of Joel and Ellie transitioned to the PS4 with enhanced graphics in 2014 and was later remade for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2, which continued Ellie's story, debuted in 2020 and received its 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.

The Last of Us Complete consolidates all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic offerings into a single package, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the need for another revisit 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 having been greenlit just yesterday.
