The Last of Us Part I [4K 60FPS] ➤ Saving Ellie ➤ Joel's Choice ➤ The Finale ➤ Next-Gen Graphics

In 201X, an outbreak of a mutant Cordyceps fungus ravages the United States, transforming its human hosts into aggressive creatures known as the "infected". In the suburbs of Austin, Texas, Joel flees the chaos with his brother, Tommy, and daughter, Sarah. As they flee, Sarah is shot by a soldier and dies in Joel's arms.

Twenty years later, civilization has been decimated by the infection. Survivors live in totalitarian quarantine zones, independent settlements, and nomadic groups, leaving buildings and houses deserted. Joel works as a smuggler with his partner, Tess, in the quarantine zone in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. They hunt down Robert, a black-market dealer, to recover a stolen weapons cache. Before Tess kills him, Robert reveals that he traded the cache with the Fireflies, a rebel militia opposing the quarantine zone authorities.

The leader of the Fireflies, Marlene, promises to double their cache in return for smuggling a teenage girl, Ellie, to Fireflies hiding in the Massachusetts State House outside the quarantine zone.

The Last of Us Part I is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
