澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2 may release this June for PS4, but it'll run just fine on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5, according to PlaySt☂ation CEO Jim Ryan in an interview with . 

"We hope this is a defining game for the generation," says Ryan, before confirming that the version launching next month "will run on the PS5 without issue". Even though there's been no reports of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog or Sony worඣ🌱king on updated visuals for The Last of Us 2 for the PS5, it looks like the game will still be compatible with the next-gen console. 

As we 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently reported, PS5 cross-gen support will be mandatory for all PS4 games submitted (not released) after July 13. While𝔍 The Last of Us 2 was submitted well before that, it looks like the devs have taken Sony's "strong✅ suggestion" to make PS4 games compatible with PS5 to heart.

The Last of Us 2 is one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year, if not the last five years, so it's great to see that those ꧂who shell out the money for a shiny new PS5 will be able to enjoy the game. With AAA titles releasing so close to the Holiday 2020 next-gen release window, making them cross-gen compatible is something of a no-braine꧋r, but it's still great to get confirmation about one of the biggest upcoming titles. 

The Last of US 2 is launching on June 19, but as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:we just reported, Sony has confirmed th🌄e June 4 PlayStation: Future of Gaming event will focus on "games you'll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday". 

A recent The Last of Us 2 video promises "the most authentic characters you've seen in a game" so it should transition to next-gen very well.
