Sony Issuing Refunds for The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

Sony is seemingly issuing automatic refunds for some PlayStation 5 gamers that purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered for full price when they could have upgraded from the PS4 version for just $10. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is just the latest PlayStation exclusive to get the PS5 upgrade treatment. A variety of PS4 games have been given upgrades on the PS5, with some offering free upgrades and others charging players for the boost.

It was made clear a couple of years ago that Sony was going to stop the free PS5 upgrades for those that owned the PS4 versions of its first-party games, and so it came as no surprise that The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered was not going to be free to those that already owned the PS4 original. But even though The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered doesn't offer a free upgrade, it does let players get the new version of the game for just $10, which is reasonable considering all the new content that's packed-in.

Some gamers missed the memo about Last of Us Part 2 Remastered having a $10 upgrade path and decided to buy the game on PS5 at full price. According to various social media posts, Sony has been automatically refunding Last of Us Part 2 Remastered digital pre-orders for those that already own the PS4 version of the game. The refund comes with a message where Sony explains the $10 upgrade path. Since The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is $50, this will save affected gamers $40. Others have said that they weren't automatically refunded, so it may be best to contact customer support just in case.

Those willing to spend $50 to get The Last of Us 2 Remastered will no doubt be happy to get the same product for just $10 instead. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is certainly worth the price of admission. It offers a superior version of the original game, with slightly improved graphics and performance, but the real draw is how it adds brand-new, never-before-seen content for fans to sink their teeth into.
