For fans of the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey who haven't yet explored the source material, this comprehensive digital bundle is available for $99.99.

In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann announced 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 comes packed with extras, including a Steelbook case, game discs, The Last of Us: American Dreams comics 1 – 4, four lithographic art prints, and a personal thank-you letter from Druckmann himself.

Druckmann expressed his gratitude in the blog post, 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."

The Last of Us series initially launched on the PS3 in 2013, captivating gamers worldwide with its gripping narrative. Despite its repeated re-releases and remasters, which have sparked debates among fans and critics, the series has remained a cherished part of the PlayStation catalog. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014 and reimagined for the PS5 in 2022 with The Last of Us Part 1. The Last of Us Part 2, released in 2020, continued the saga and 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 just last week.

The release of The Last of Us Complete coincides with the excitement surrounding HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, set to premiere its first episode this Sunday. The anticipation continues to build, as Season 3 was greenlit just yesterday.
