The Last of Us Part II has launched today on PS4, continuing the tale of Joel and Ellie five years after the events of the first game. It's a game with richly detailed environment, gruesome effects, and a fantastic score, some of which you can enjoy live right now.

Composer Gustavo Santaolalla has worked on both entries in Naughty Dog's series, and has shared a sample of the soundtrack performed live to commemorate today's release. The short concert consists of five songs from the game, including the somber The Cycle Continues, and the new main theme for the sequel. You can enjoy the full thing below.

The Last of Us Part II soundtrack is now also available for streaming on both Spotify and Apple Music, if you're looking for some soothing music to work to. If this has you feeling inspired, you can also purchase Ellie's guitar from the game to make some of your own music, but it doesn't come cheap. If you're still in need of the game itself, there are still many editions to choose from. And if you're looking for some pointers, we have numerous guides and beginner's tips to check out.
