Sony will issue automatic refunds for pre-ordered digital copies of The Last Of Us Part 2 and Iron Man VR, following indefinite delays to both games.
The news was revealed via the Sony support portal, where a banner notes that players who have purchased digital pre-orders of either game will be reimbursed. Those affected by this should have received emails from Sony detailing the refund process.
This is in response to the indefinite delays announced for both games last week. Iron Man VR was primed for a May 15th release, while The Last Of Us Part 2 was scheduled to launch on May 29th, 2020.

This changed last week when Sony announced that logistical problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic were preventing the company from “providing the launch experience our players deserve.”
The Last Of Us Part 2 director Neil Druckmann hopped on the Official PlayStation Blogcast yesterday to address the news. Answering questions about a potential digital release of the game, Druckmann noted that “there hasn’t been a final decision” and that the studio as at “the one-yard line” in terms of the game’s development.
