Accessibility options for The Last of Us Part II

From the very beginning, Naughty Dog's goal has been to ensure that as many fans as possible have an opportunity to experience the game through their most robust accessibility feature set to-date.

Building upon the foundations established with UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End, The Last of Us Part II features more than 60 accessibility settings, with expanded options focused on fine-motor and hearing, as well as completely new features that benefit low-vision and blind players.

Naughty Dog encourages everyone to take advantage of these features to create a gameplay experience that’s right for them.

Accessibility presets

One challenge in creating a large number of configurable options is making you aware of which options might be relevant for your needs. In addition, many features were created to work well in concert with one another. To help with this, Naughty Dog created three accessibility presets that configure all the recommended settings for vision, hearing and motor accessibility. 

While we hope these will provide a good starting point, you can always go through and tweak individual options, even after selecting a preset.

Alternate controls

For the first time, Naughty Dog is offering full control customization. This allows you to remap every command to a different controller input, including touch pad swipes and controller shake.

Because holding or rapidly tapping buttons can be challenging for some players, The Last of Us Part II has individual options to change every button hold into a toggle, and every rapid press into a hold. Returning from UNCHARTED 4, there are also expanded options for camera assistance and lock-on aim.

Navigation and traversal

Making a game that's accessible for blind and low-vision players means providing new ways of navigating the game world.

Navigation Assistance can be used to guide you along the golden path of story progression or you can use Enhanced Listen Mode to go off and find enemies or pickups instead. To help you move through the game world, there are also options for simplified traversal input, ledge guard, and the ability to skip puzzles altogether.

Features Enabled: Enhanced Listen Mode

Text-to-speech and audio cues

Any information that is only represented visually is unavailable to a blind player. To address this discrepancy, Naughty Dog created several options to convey this information through sound and controller vibration instead.

Traversal and Combat Audio Cues work alongside the game's audio to map easily identifiable sounds to commonly used actions (scavenging pickups, jumping across gaps, dodging incoming melee attacks, etc.). These audio cues are cataloged in an audio glossary that you can refer back to at any time.

Additionally, menus and other on-screen text can be voiced using the Text-To-Speech* option. For those that have their language set to English and Text-to-Speech** enabled at the console level, The Last of Us Part II will automatically enable Text-to-Speech for you in-game.

* Text-to-speech features available in all supported languages, except for Thai

** Supported Text-to-Speech languages include: English, UK English, French, Italian, German, Danish, Turkish, Russian, Czech, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Croatian, LATAM Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese

If you're deaf, hard-of-hearing, or need to play at low or no volume, you may not be able to access gameplay information that is only represented through audio.
