In an unexpected move, Sony has enhanced the PlayStation Plus Extra tier by including The Last of Us Part 2 for PS4 users and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for PS5 gamers. Typically, updates to the Extra and Premium levels of PlayStation Plus occur mid-month, but September brought a bonus title for subscribers.

The recent State of Play event showcased upcoming titles such as Saros and Insomniac's Wolverine, but it also revealed new additions to PlayStation Plus. Subscribers were pleasantly surprised by the announcement of an extra game, which has now been integrated into the service.

Members subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium can now experience The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 and the enhanced The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PS5. This title, which secured Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2020, also earned accolades for Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Audio Design, and more. With a remarkable 93 average critic score, it stands as one of the most acclaimed games ever. Accessing this full game through a subscription represents exceptional value for players.

While The Last of Us Part 2 faced debate over certain narrative elements, its gameplay has received widespread praise. The remastered edition offers improved performance and additional features, such as the roguelike No Return mode, providing fresh content for enthusiasts.

The State of Play also confirmed other upcoming PlayStation Plus games. The October 2025 free titles will feature Alan Wake 2, Cocoon, and Goat Simulator 3, while Tekken 3, Soulcalibur 3, and Tomb Raider Anniversary are slated for PS Plus Premium by year's end.
