The update will add Grounded, the hardest option in the series that was introduced in The Last of Us Remastered. This mode makes enemies more deadlier and all resources extremely limited. There's no listen mode, HUD, and a lot more. It'll be available at the beginning without the player needing to have beat the game.

Permadeath will end the game once killed. You can adjust this to specific checkpoints or chapters, but the real challenge is beating the entire game without dying. With an option available that restarts all progression to the beginning.

New filters have been added such as 8-bit retro, Noir, and 28 other filters. This includes:

Mirror World

Mirror on Death

Slow Motion

Bullet Speed Mode

Infinite Ammo

Infinite Crafting

Infinite Melee Durability

Infinite Listen Mode Range

One Shot

Touch of Death

8-bit Audio

4-bit Audio

Other adjustments to the 1.05 update include the ability to disable Listen Mode, adjust Film Grain options, display options, and playtime for speedrunning.

The Last of Us Part II is now available for PS4.
