Last of Us Part II free

PlayStation Plus Extra members can now download *The Last of Us Part II* through Sony’s Game Catalog instead of buying it outright. (screenrant.com) Sony sells the PlayStation 4 version of *The Last of Us Part II* through the Extra catalog, while the PlayStation 5 remaster remains a separate store listing. The PlayStation Store page lists the original game as “Included” with Extra and prices the remastered edition at $29.99, down from $49.99 through April 8, 2026. (store.playstation.com) PlayStation Plus has three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium, and the Game Catalog is tied to Extra and Premium rather than the monthly giveaway tier. Sony’s April 2026 PlayStation Plus page separately promotes the month’s “Monthly Games,” showing that catalog access works differently from the games all subscribers can claim each month. (playstation.com, blog.playstation.com) That distinction helps explain the confusion around “free.” Subscribers are not getting a permanent no-strings copy in the way monthly claimed games work; they can play the catalog version while their Extra membership remains active and the title stays in the catalog. (playstation.com, store.playstation.com) The game itself is one of Sony’s biggest first-party releases of the last console cycle. Naughty Dog launched *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* for PlayStation 5 on January 19, 2024, adding a roguelike survival mode called No Return, Lost Levels with developer commentary, and PlayStation 5-specific technical upgrades. (blog.playstation.com, naughtydog.com) Sony also gave existing PlayStation 4 owners a lower-cost upgrade path when the remaster arrived. Naughty Dog and PlayStation said players who already owned *The Last of Us Part II* on PlayStation 4 could upgrade to the remastered PlayStation 5 version for $10. (blog.playstation.com, playstation.com) Fan reaction this week centered on timing as much as price. Screen Rant said players on Reddit called the catalog addition “a surprise,” and the outlet tied the response to the series’ renewed visibility as HBO’s adaptation keeps the franchise in the spotlight. (screenrant.com) For subscribers, the practical takeaway is simpler than the headlines: Extra gets you access to *The Last of Us Part II* now, but the remastered PlayStation 5 edition is still a separate purchase unless Sony changes the catalog listing later.
