The Last of Us Complete: Collector’s Edition - PS5

Priced at $109.99 and available at PlayStation Direct, The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition offers fans a comprehensive experience of the series that inspired the hit HBO TV show. "Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games," the official description reads, highlighting the graphical and gameplay improvements made possible by the PS5 console.

The bundle encompasses the main stories of both games, along with additional content released over the years. This includes the Left Behind Ellie-focused prequel DLC for The Last of Us Part 1, and The Last of Us Part 2's No Return and Lost Levels content. For those who've enjoyed the HBO series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey and are yet to explore the video games, this digital bundle is available for $99.99.

In a PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann shared details about the physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set to launch on July 10 for $109.99, with pre-orders available now. This edition includes extra collectibles such as 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.

Druckmann expressed gratitude to fans 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 Complete brings together all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic offerings into one 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, set to air its first episode this Sunday. Additionally, Season 3 was greenlit just yesterday.
