Yesterday we got a few small leaks about Naughty Dog’s recently announced The Last of Us Part 1 remake coming to PlayStation 5 and possibly PC. Now, however, the floodgates are well and truly open.
Today, the internet is full of all kinds of new information about the game, including details about its accessibility options and control layout.
If you wish to avoid any spoilers, there will be some in the text below – so take this as a sign to read something else on Eurogamer if you wish.

The latest The Last of Us leaks come from XboxEra co-founder Nick Baker, who has acquired tons of photos and snippets from The Last of Us Part 1 and has been sharing them with the world throughout the night.
We now have a good look at the game’s controller layout, which includes all the expected options for things like melee, aiming, sprinting, climbing, and so on. Baker went on to state that the purpose of the gyroscope would be maintained.
Additionally, Baker also shared a comprehensive list of the accessibility features (which come with a preview of the game’s menu) that will be available.
There are many of the options you’d expect, especially after The Last of Us Part 2’s incredible catalog of features. According to Baker’s source, you’ll be able to adjust the game’s field of view and camera shake to take care of those who suffer from motion sickness. There is also a colorblind mode, screen magnifier and custom controls.
As with Part 2, there is also an option to skip puzzles and combat audio cues.
Baker also detailed the rendering modes that will be available. Accuracy mode “favors resolution over frame rate,” rendering at 4K and targeting 40fps. Performance mode, meanwhile, is set to target 60fps and has dynamic resolution.
There were also new footage and screenshots shared.
A clip gave us a look at The Last of Us Part 1 workbenches, with Joel being shown upgrading his weapons. Compared to previous workbench segments, this one has more detail (which is to be expected, really).
The other clips showed Joel and Ellie in combat, with both ranged attacks and hand-to-hand combat, and the use of throwing bottles around the room to create a distraction.
Baker stated that the footage “obviously wasn’t shot in HDR. It’s a little better, but it’s still a touch washed out, so I think it’s a capture issue.”
Naughty Dog has been unfortunate enough to have several high-profile leaks for its games. The reveal itself for The Last of Us Part 1 leaked just hours before it was officially revealed.
Meanwhile, key plot elements for The Last of Us Part 2 infamously leaked online ahead of its release, sparking quite a backlash from the game’s community.
