Team_Nixxessteam_community_announcements
We here at Naughty Dog are honored to celebrate The Last of Us Day 2025, the annual recognition of the franchise that has meant so much to you, our incredible fans, and the teams at Naughty Dog who have contributed to the series over the years.
It’s been a busy year for The Last of Us, and we’re grateful for your incredible support of Joel, Ellie, and Abby’s journeys. So we’re excited to commemorate TLOU Day with you all in some fun, new ways:
The Last of Us in the Steam Autumn Sale
For players who have yet to play either entry on the series, good news: The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II Remastered will both be on sale starting next Monday, September 29 through October 6 as part of the Steam Autumn Sale!
The Last of Us Part II Remastered: No Retournament
Dozens of Dogs competed in our first-ever internal No Retournament, putting their skills to the test in the fan-favorite No Return mode introduced in The Last of Us Part II Remastered.

We wanted to offer a peek into our studio coming together for this thrilling event, so watch our recap below:
New Steam Points Shop items
We’re also introducing new Animated Avatars and Avatar Frames for the Steam Points Shop. They’re designed in pairs, creating complex scenes when used together.

Our friends from YouTooz have also released new The Last of Us Monitor Buddies, so Ellie and Joel can keep watch while you work or play. YouTooz also released three new plush figures: Joel, Ellie, and Shimmer the horse.

TLOU Wallpapers and more
You may have seen our graphic designer Jason Ferry’s amazing work across our website, merchandise, and partnership collaborations. He’s even grown mold at home to use in his designs - don’t worry, he hasn’t turned into a Runner just yet. Here’s Jason to explain what he’s been up to:
“I’ve grown so much slime mold over the past year people have started calling me Mold Man. To celebrate TLOU Day, we’ve used the mold imagery to create six wallpapers for mobile and desktop. You can download them here, and carry my mold on the go, like a pro.”
