Now, let’s take a look at this year’s The Last of Us Day festivities, including a chance to hang out with you all live today!

 

No Return Charity Stream for AbleGamers 

 

Join us today at 2pm PDT (5pm EDT, 10pm BST, and 6am JST) for a fundraising livestream in support of AbleGamers, a charity near and dear to our hearts.

You can tune in on both our official Naughty Dog Twitch and YouTube channels. We’ll be playing through No Return, The Last of Us Part II Remastered’s roguelike survival mode.

We’re joined by award-winning blind accessibility professional Ross Minor, who will be playing through No Return while highlighting the accessibility features built into the mode. Our host (and awesome colleague) Jonathon Dornbush will be along for the ride, and you can even influence Ross’ run by choosing which No Return path he takes.

Some of the Dogs will also stop by throughout the day to say hello and share memories from development.

Those from North America tuning in will have a chance to win a bunch of The Last of Us items, including some signed by the devs! Help us reach our fundraising milestones, and see what prizes are available during the stream.*

 

Sucker Punch Collab!

 

Our friends at Sucker Punch have outdone themselves with an amazing Ghost of Yōtei Clicker-inspired Armor, dropping this Thursday, October 1 in the Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted mode. Once unlocked, the armor can be worn in the original game and the new Echoes of Sekigahara DLC.

Get a first look at the outfit below:

As always, tag us in your photo mode shots as you play! We’ll feature a few on our social channels and share them with our buds over at Sucker Punch.

 

Limited-Edition Youtooz Partnership!

 

Next, we’re stoked to work with our friends over at Youtooz to co-create a special Clicker variant for The Last of Us Day 2026.

Fresh off a rampage through the wilds of Washington, the Bloody Clicker figure won’t be around for long. We worked with Youtooz to make this a true collectible - every box is emblazoned with our TLOU Day 2026 logo.

You might even see a few of these shamble into our stream today to give away!

 

PlayStation Avatars and Welcome Hub

 

New downloadable items are available for PlayStation and PC today!

For the first time ever, a The Last of Us-themed background is being added to the PlayStation Welcome Hub. Log in to your account for PlayStation and download to see how our team has brought dynamic elements to this iconic key art. Watch the smoke plume around Joel and see the embers fly at Abby’s feet.

While you’re refreshing your PS5 hub, you may as well boot up Part I or Part II and dive back in.

 

We’ve also introduced four new PlayStation Avatars. Featuring symbols of the Seraphites, the W.L.F., and Ellie’s much-loved space pin, they’re a great way to deck out your profile and show your fandom.

You can download all four new avatars using the code below for your region:

Americas: QDFN-GT5D-AMG7

Europe/Australia: 9EBR-7QEJ-R3CG

Japan: JQ38-ER84-H78R

Korea: LH7H-CE4H-J527

Asia: MMLL-XQGG-Q9BG

 

Steam Avatars

 

And you can kit out your Steam profiles too. We’ve released a new set of animated avatars for Part I and Part II!

Featuring iconography of the Fireflies, W.L.F., and Ellie’s moth tattoo, these are now available.

 

The Last of Us Subway Ambiance Video

 

If you dream of the sound of narrowly escaping a horde of Infected, this video is just for you. And even if you understandably don’t, we hope it creates the perfect atmosphere for your spooky season festivities.

Sit back, relax, and drift off to the screeches of Clickers hunting you down.

Steam and Epic Games Sale

 

Lastly, Steam and Epic Games Store are hosting a sale to celebrate The Last of Us Day.

Through October 1 at 10am PDT, Part I is available at 50% off, and Part II at 33% off. If you haven’t played—or it’s been a while—this is the perfect time to jump in and check out some of our PC Updates and quality-of-life features.

Thank you to all the fans who have made The Last of Us what it is today. We cherish the chance to celebrate The Last of Us Day every year because you consistently remind us how much this universe means to you—and how much it means to us. We’re incredibly lucky to tell these stories and build these worlds for you, our incredible community.

From all of us here at Naughty Dog, thank you for your unwavering support, and happy The Last of Us Day!
