The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will be released on Jan. 19, 2024, exclusively for PlayStation 5. As it stands, there is no news of a PC release date for the title.

According to the PlayStation Store, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered will release at midnight local time. So, if you’ve pre-ordered it digitally and are willing to stay up late, you can immediately start playing first thing Friday morning. It launching at midnight local time means certain time zones, such as New Zealand, will gain access to the game earlier than others if they haven’t already. That said, you can preload The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered ahead of release. If you want to keep track of an up-to-date countdown for the release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, you can do so below. Our countdown is counting down to midnight CT.

Either way, the good news is the wait for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is almost over, and it won’t be long until you’re experiencing the thrilling adventure all over again. Once you’re done reliving the story, you can check out the new side content, which includes previously cut levels and a new roguelike mode called No Return.
