How to Upgrade to The Last of Us 2 Remastered
The process of upgrading The Last of Us 2 is relatively simple, though many players may not even realize it is an option. The game’s official PlayStation Store page, however, confirms that players can upgrade the title for ten dollars.
It is important to note that the listed upgrade price is in U.S. Dollars. Sony has announced that localized pricing will be available on release day.
As Sony has done for other recent upgrade options, like the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, players will find an ‘upgrade’ option within the PlayStation Store itself. This will appear similarly to DLC purchases, with a separate icon within the store representing the option to purchase the upgrade. The purchase process will be the same as any other on the PlayStation Store.
