Sony Offers Ellie Skin Incentive for PC Players to Sign into PSN for The Last of Us 2 Remastered

Sony has officially unveiled the PC specifications for *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* ahead of its eagerly anticipated release on April 3. Alongside the PC specs, Sony has detailed PSN sign-in incentives and announced exciting new content for No Return Mode, which will be available on both PC and PlayStation 5.

In a detailed post on the PlayStation Blog, Naughty Dog, in collaboration with support studios Nixxes Software and Iron Galaxy, outlined the enhanced features coming to the PC version of *The Last of Us Part II Remastered*. This release comes a year after its debut on the PlayStation 5.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC Features:

  • Nvidia DLSS 3 Super Resolution support
  • AMD FSR 3.1 and AMD FSR 4 support with upscaling and frame generation
  • VSync and framerate cap options, including an uncapped framerate option
  • DirectStorage support
  • Adjustable Texture Quality
  • LOD Distance Range
  • Volumetric Quality
  • Shadow Quality
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Reflections Quality

The game also supports ultrawide monitors, allowing 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. The game features 3D audio for an immersive experience.

Keyboard and mouse controls come with new customization options, including full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings, and an adaptive mode that allows players to combine keyboard and controller inputs. DualSense controllers offer full haptic feedback for an enhanced gaming experience.

"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.

Moving on to No Return mode, two new characters are being introduced: Bill and Marlene from *The Last of Us Part I*. Bill adopts a "Smuggler" playstyle, allowing access to a custom pump shotgun from dead drops and receiving double rewards from drops. He's stronger against melee attacks but cannot dodge. Marlene, on the other hand, embodies a "Risk Taker" playstyle with a Custom Assault Rifle, "All or Nothing" gambits, and the ability to reroute her No Return path once per run.

Additionally, four new maps are being added to No Return mode:

  • Overlook: Set high above Seattle with verticality, reminiscent of a Seraphites encounter in the campaign.
  • School: An abandoned elementary school where Ellie and Dina face off against the W.L.F.
  • Streets: Set in the overgrown Seattle neighborhood of Hillcrest.
  • Nest: Familiar to players who have played as Abby through an Infected-infested building.

All the new No Return content, along with new Trophies and additional 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 policy change regarding PlayStation Network requirements, *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* on PC features an optional PSN log-in. Logging in to PSN grants access to the PlayStation overlay and PSN Trophies. As an added incentive, players who sign in with their PSN account will receive 50 in-game points to activate bonus features, as well as 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 through the 2.0 patch using in-game bonus points.

Earlier this month, *The Last of Us* director Neil Druckmann shared more details about *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*. In an interview with Alex Garland, the writer of the zombie movie *28 Days Later*, Druckmann discussed the development process, revealing that *Intergalactic* has been in the works for four years. He humorously noted the backlash received for creative decisions in *The Last of Us Part II*, contrasting it with the new game's focus on faith and religion. *Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet*, starring Tati Gabrielle as Jordan A. Mun, is set in an alternate historical timeline and explores a prominent religion that has evolved over time.

The PC version of *The Last of Us Part II Remastered* arrives just before Season 2 of HBO's hit TV adaptation, with showrunners Druckmann and Craig Mazin confirming the return of spores, which were omitted from Season 1.
