The game also supports ultrawide monitors, allowing for gameplay in 21:9 ultra-wide, 32:9 super ultra-wide, and even 48:9 resolutions, with compatibility for triple-monitor setups. Players can enjoy the game in 4K resolution, with support for various controllers as well as keyboard and mouse controls, complete with 3D audio.

For keyboard and mouse users, new control customization options include full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings, and an adaptive mode for combining keyboard and controller inputs. Full gamepad support is available, with DualSense controllers offering haptic feedback.

"The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC offers a wide range of graphics settings and presets, to ensure the best possible experience on hardware ranging from high-end PCs to handheld gaming devices," Sony stated.

The Last of Us Part 2 PC Specs:

Moving on to No Return mode, two new characters are being introduced: Bill and Marlene from *The Last of Us Part I*.

Bill, with his "Smuggler" playstyle, can access a custom pump shotgun from dead drops and receives double rewards from drops. He's stronger against melee attacks but cannot dodge. Marlene, with a "Risk Taker" playstyle, features a Custom Assault Rifle, "All or Nothing" gambits, and can reroute her No Return path once per run, among other abilities.

Four new maps are also being added to No Return mode: Overlook, School, Streets, and Nest. These maps bring diverse settings and challenges, enhancing the variability and thrill of the gameplay.

All the new content for No Return mode, along with new Trophies and bug fixes, will be available on PS5 simultaneously with the PC launch through a free downloadable 2.0.0 patch, Sony confirmed.

In line with Sony's recent decision regarding PlayStation Network requirements, *The Last of Us 2 Remastered* on PC includes an optional PSN log-in. Logging in grants access to the PlayStation overlay and PSN Trophies, and as an incentive, players receive 50 in-game points to activate bonus features and a new skin for Ellie featuring Jordan A. Mun's jacket from Naughty Dog's new PS5 game, *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*.

PS5 players can also unlock the Jordan's jacket skin via the 2.0 patch using in-game bonus points, Sony added.

Earlier this month, *The Last of Us* director Neil Druckmann shared insights into *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, a game that has been in development for four years. In an interview with Alex Garland, Druckmann discussed the creative process and the game's focus on themes of faith and religion, set in an alternate historical timeline with a prominent, evolved religion.

The PC release of *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* precedes the second season of HBO's acclaimed TV adaptation. Showrunners Druckmann and Craig Mazin have confirmed the return of spores, which were absent in the first season.
