Five years after their horrific journey through epidemic-ridden America, Ellie and Joel settled in Jackson, Wyoming. Settling in a thriving community, they have found the stability they desire, despite the constant threat of attack by the infected and the survivors losing their meaning.

It is possible that the PlayStation 4 Pro uses the 2160p RGB standard, while the PlayStation 4 uses the usual 1080p.

HDR OFF/ON COMPARISON
