The inaugural season of the HBO’s The Last of Us has arguably exceeded expectations, landing as possibly the finest video game adaptation ever made. Show creators have largely adhered to the original narrative in the 2013 Naughty Dog game for PS3, which has led to its significant success. As anticipation builds for the second season, premiering on Max in April, fans can revisit the first season with a special, limited-edition steelbook release. Available for preorder now and set for a March 18 release, this steelbook edition offers viewers an ideal way to review what transpired in the debut season.

Preorders are currently open for The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook), which comes out on March 18. This limited-edition steelbook is a collectible item and is perfect for any fans of the series that haven’t yet watched the first season. Not only does it replicate the story from the first game and the Left Behind expansion, but it also includes additional narratives to solidify the world-building. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (Druckmann also contributed as writer and creative director for both The Last of Us video games) wrote all scripts for the first season. The show features Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Notably, game voices Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who portrayed Joel and Ellie, respectively, have made appearances in the show. The plot essentially mirrors that of the first game, following Joel and Ellie as they traverse a post-apocalyptic America, ravaged by fungal zombies, on a vital journey to potentially rescue the world from the outbreak.

For those who purchase The Last of Us: The Complete First Season Limited-Edition Collectible Steelbook bundle, over two hours of bonus content is included. Bonus features include: Controllers Down: Adapting The Last of Us, From Levels to Live Action, and The Last of Us: Stranger than Fiction.

Anyone feeling motivated to play the games after watching the show should consider picking up The Last of Us: Part I available on PS5 or PC. The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is also accessible on PS5 and will be coming to PC on April 3. Additionally, Sony has released Joel and Ellie action figures for fans.

The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD Steelbook) will be released on March 18.
