The Last of Us Part 2 was among the games released for both generations of PlayStation, and players who bought the PS4 version were allowed to upgrade their games to the PS5 version should they acquire a console later. It also hit store shelves early in the life cycle of the PlayStation 5, when games were still commonly coming out on PS4 at the same time.

The game's emotional narrative, gorgeous visuals, and brutal action helped solidify The Last of Us as one of Sony's core franchises.

The Last of Us Part 2 was one of the biggest game releases of 2021, both from a sales perspective and in terms of critical acclaim.
