Considering that The Last of Us Part 2 is a first-party Sony title, just like God of War, it would be realistic to put its development budget estimates near $100 million, if not even higher, considering the amount of time and effort it took to produce TLOU2. Perhaps most revealing is the fact that both God of War – known for its incredible environments and graphical quality – and Shadow of the Tomb Raider have been estimated to cost upwards of $100 million to produce.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt reportedly cost $46 million to develop, CD Projekt Redconfirmed in 2015, but that's less than games of its scale usually do. It’s not far-fetched to assume that The Last of Us cost even more than this, given how detailed and large the game is. In every way, the game is bigger and better."

" The game I think we're saying is about 50% bigger, but it is massive, not just in length, but in like, all of our levels are bigger and wider, we have more cinematics, we have more characters, we have more animations,” she explained to Gamer Braves. For instance, in 2019, TLOU2 co-writer Halley Cross spoke about the expansiveness of the game.

Since The Last Of Us 2 is much bigger than its original – and includes more advanced elements, like better graphics and gameplay mechanics – the title likely cost the developers much more to produce the second time around. Given that T he Last of Us Part 2 has been confirmed to be bigger and more detailed than its predecessor, there has been much speculation over how much it cost to develop the Naughty Dog title. Although neither Sony nor Naughty Dog has confirmed any official numbers, it’s possible to infer the cost of production based on price comparisons with other games of a similar nature.
