PS3 exclusive The Last of Us demo now available on PSN

The Last of Us demo is now available on PSN for those who picked up God of War Ascension. Instructions for downloading The Last of Us came with God of War Ascension when you bought it but if you can’t find them you don’t need to worry. The only thing you need to download the demo for The Last of Us is the God of War Ascension disc itself. This means that whether you purchased God of War Ascension or rented it from Gamefly, you can get early access to the demo for Naughty Dog’s next game.

The way you download The Last of US is simple. Boot up God of War Ascension and once you get to the main menu you will see a prompt on the lower left hand of the screen. Simply follow the on screen instructions and you will be downloading The Last of Us in no time. The size of the demo is really small (weighing in at approximately 130mb) so it should download for you fairly quickly. Once the demo is downloaded it will be available to you on the XMB just like everything else is after downloading. This ends the involvement of the God of War Ascension disc as you no longer need it to play The Last of Us.

The demo features the Outskirts level of The Last of Us, in which Joel and Ellie, along with Tess, will encounter multiple infected enemies. Runners and Clickers have distinct behaviors and methods of attacking you. You’re going to need to explore the environment and scavenge your surroundings for items and objects that might give you the kind of offensive or defensive advantage that suits your play style.

The demo for The Last of Us will become available to everyone closer to the game’s release date. Have you played the demo yet? Will be picking up The Last of Us when it is released on June 14?
