Sony Refunds The Last Of Us 2 PS4 Owners For Buying Remastered Edition At Full Price

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is set to arrive in the next couple of weeks, and gamers have already started pre-ordering it for the full price. But, the buyers who already had the original TLOU Part 2 were supposed to wait and upgrade to the remastered edition for a mere $10 bucks. While most are planning to benefit from the offer, those not in the know have paid the $50 price tag and pre-ordered the remastered edition early with others.

As reported on Reddit by u/farrerj32 and many other users in the TLOU community, Sony has responded to the crisis by just refunding the buyers and issuing a detailed response to the community. The publisher has reportedly refunded the customers as a “gesture of goodwill” to ensure that they “do not lose out on that opportunity.” This will allow The Last of Us Part 2 players to avail the offer and save $40 bucks in the process.

The upgrade path laid out by the devs has proven to be quite confusing for some users, causing some TLOU Part 2 players in the community to be oblivious to the $10 upgrade offer. As a result, the fans have praised the amiable move by Sony to assist the buyers by refunding and removing the option for them to pre-order in certain regions. The TLOU Part 2 owners will be able to upgrade on the day the remastered edition launches.

If you are unfamiliar, the TLOU 2 remastered edition will bring more than just a few iterative upgrades, like new levels that never made it to the original. These “Lost Levels” will also feature commentary from the devs. Some other features include No Return roguelike mode, improved visuals and performance, Guitar Free Play, and more. The devs earlier stated that the roguelike mode is not for the faint of heart and will be full of stress.

The fans are excited about the new game modes the new edition brings. However, the title has also caused controversy because some find it unnecessary. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is set to launch on January 19, 2024, for the PlayStation 5. It is allegedly skipping a PS4 release, likely due to hardware limits. On the other hand, we can expect a PC port by Sony in the subsequent years, but the studio has stayed quiet on the matter so far.
