There’s a clearly defined turning point in PlayStation’s brand over the last decade or so, a point where it doubled down on the third-person, cinematic experiences it’s known for today. Games like Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Zero Dawn epitomize this focus on realistic graphics, fluid action, and a carefully crafted single-player experience. But none of them might exist if it wasn’t for a post-apocalypse survival horror classic released in 2013.
The Last of Us marked a major pivot in PlayStation’s entire strategy, and on September 26, in honor of the gaming brand’s ongoing 30th-anniversary celebration, Sony is adding the definitive version of the classic title via its online subscription service, PlayStation+.
