You can play The Last of Us on cloud gaming in three ways: with a subscription that includes the game, by streaming your own game copy (BYOG), or by installing it on a full cloud PC. Below, we explain each method so you can choose the one that works for you.

Method 1

Play without owning the game

To play The Last of Us on cloud gaming without buying it, you can use a catalog-based service where the game is included in the subscription plan:

  • Playstation Cloud in the Plus Premium plan

After subscribing, you can open the service's catalog in the dedicated app or in your browser (if supported). From there, you can start the stream and play The Last of Us without installing or downloading it. The plan will also give you access to other games in the service's catalog.

Method 2

Bring your own game (BYOG)

If you want to play The Last of Us on cloud gaming with your own copy, you can use a catalog-based service that supports it as a BYOG title on its subscription plans:

  • Boosteroid: works with any plan

To use your own copy of the game, you need to link the store account where you own it to the cloud gaming service. Supported store versions can vary by service:

Once your store account is linked, you can open the service's catalog, select The Last of Us, and start streaming in your browser or a supported app. Depending on the service, a brief cloud setup may be required before the first launch. The plan can also be used to stream other games you own that are available in the service's catalog.

Method 3

Install and play on a cloud PC

With a full cloud PC service, you can install and play almost any PC game, including The Last of Us, on a virtual desktop in the cloud:
