If the headline refers to The Last of Us Part II Remastered, the game is available on PS5—but it is a 2024 remaster, not a brand-new release. The available evidence also does not show that the remaster received a 10/10: the cited 10/10 from Push Square applies to its review of the original The Last of Us Part II. The headline’s intended game is not confirmed, so treat this identification as provisional.
Which horror game is the headline likely referring to?
The strongest indexed match is The Last of Us Part II Remastered. Push Square lists the PS5 game under horror and zombies, and its profile records a 10/10 for the outlet’s review of the original The Last of Us Part II. That does not establish that the remaster itself earned the same score, or that this is definitely the game meant by the headline. Push Square’s game profile
When did it come to PS5?
Push Square lists 19 January 2024 as the North American and UK/European release date for The Last of Us Part II Remastered. Calling it “brand-new” is therefore misleading if that means newly released. It is a remastered edition of the 2020 sequel. Push Square’s game profile

What does the PS5 remaster add?
PlayStation describes the remaster as a PS5-built edition with technical enhancements to the original PS4 game. Its listed features include:
#1 Best Overall
- Enhanced visuals: Completely rebuilt from the ground up using Naughty Dog’s latest PS5 engine technology to improve every visual detail, The Last of Us experience has been faithfully enhanced with more realistic lighting and atmosphere, more intricate environments and creative reimaginings of familiar spaces.
- Fast loading: Initial loading times are near instant, and seamless after the first instance thanks to the PS5 console’s SSD – so you can pick up where you left off in the story and load specific encounters and chapters more quickly.
- Haptic feedback: DualSense wireless controller haptic feedback support for every weapon elevates combat encounters, and environments are brought to life through DualSense wireless controller haptic sensations of subtle falling rain, the crunch of stepping on snow and more.
- Adaptive triggers: All The Last of Us iconic weapons, including Joel’s revolver and Ellie’s bow, now deliver dynamic DualSense wireless controller trigger resistance and kickback on firing for deeper combat immersion.
- 3D Audio: Designed to make use of the PS5 console’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, Naughty Dog’s newly upgraded audio engine delivers richer soundscapes, bigger explosive moments and more visceral gameplay through compatible stereo headphones (analogue or USB) or TV speakers.
- Fidelity Mode with 4K output and improved loading times.
- DualSense integration.
- No Return, a roguelike survival mode.
- Three Lost Levels from early development, plus developer commentary.
- Guitar Free Play and Speedrun Mode.
- Descriptive audio and speech-to-vibrations accessibility features.
- Character and weapon skins.
These are features listed by the publisher, not independent performance-test results. PlayStation calls the edition “the definitive way to play Ellie and Abby’s critically acclaimed story”; that is the publisher’s own description. PlayStation’s product page
Is it a single-player game, and who made it?
Yes. Push Square lists the game as single-player, developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Push Square’s game profile

Is the remaster worth considering if you own the PS4 game?
The main reasons to consider the PS5 edition are its listed technical enhancements, DualSense support, No Return, extra development content, Guitar Free Play, Speedrun Mode, and accessibility options. Whether those additions justify getting the remaster depends on what you want from the game and whether you already own the original. Current pricing, upgrade eligibility, and regional terms are not established here, so check PlayStation’s current store listing for the terms that apply to your account and region.
