"Experience the complete story that inspired the TV show with definitive versions of two award-winning games," states the official description of The Last of Us Complete. This bundle not only includes the main storylines but also all the bonus content released over the years, such as the Left Behind DLC for Ellie, and The Last of Us Part 2’s No Return and Lost Levels content. For those captivated by the HBO series featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, this digital bundle is priced at $99.99 and offers a deep dive into the origins of the beloved narrative.

In a recent PlayStation.Blog post, Naughty Dog Head of Studio Neil Druckmann detailed the upcoming physical The Last of Us Complete Collector’s Edition, set to launch on July 10 for $109.99. This edition is now available for pre-order and includes additional collectibles like 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 his gratitude in the blog 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, which originally launched on the PS3 in 2013, has been a cherished part of the PlayStation catalog despite criticisms over its multiple re-releases and remasters. The journey of Joel and Ellie was first enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, followed by a full remake for the PS5 in 2022. The Last of Us Part 2 continued the saga 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 just last week.

The Last of Us Complete consolidates all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic offerings into one package, marking yet another re-release of the series. This move aligns with the premiere of HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 being greenlit just yesterday.

For those eager to delve deeper into the world of The Last of Us, you can explore why fans aren't anticipating news on The Last of Us Part 3 anytime soon, and learn how Druckmann and his team might expand the story in the future.
