ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS FOR THE LAST OF US PART II
The Last of Us Part II features more than 60 accessibility settings, with expanded options focused on fine-motor and hearing, as well as completely new features that benefit low-vision and blind players.
ACCESSIBILITY PRESETS
ALTERNATE CONTROLS
For the first time, Naughty Dog is offering full control customization. This allows you to remap every command to a different controller input, including touch pad swipes and controller shake.
Because holding or rapidly tapping buttons can be challenging for some players, The Last of Us Part II has individual options to change every button hold into a toggle, and every rapid press into a hold. Returning from Uncharted 4, there are also expanded options for camera assistance and lock-on aim.
HOLDS AND PRESSES
ASSISTANCE
MAGNIFICATION AND VISUAL AIDS
Text, UI, and gameplay elements that are too small or difficult to read can be frustrating. To address these issues, you can fine-tune the HUD size, color, and contrast.
The new High Contrast Display is a special render mode that provides more contrast for in-game elements. The Screen Magnifier feature also allows you to zoom-in on any part of the screen using the DUALSHOCK®4 touch pad.
MOTION SICKNESS
Simulated 3D movement can be a source of motion sickness for many players. To create a more visually comfortable experience, you can choose options to adjust camera shake, motion blur, camera follow distance, and even field of view. There's also an option for a persistent white dot in the center of the screen, which can alleviate the sensation.
NAVIGATION AND TRAVERSAL
Making a game that's accessible for blind and low-vision players means providing new ways of navigating the game world.
Navigation Assistance can be used to guide you along the golden path of story progression or you can use Enhanced Listen Mode to go off and find enemies or pickups instead. To help you move through the game world, there are also options for simplified traversal input, ledge guard, and the ability to skip puzzles altogether.
TEXT-TO-SPEECH AND AUDIO CUES
Any information that is only represented visually is unavailable to a blind player. To address this discrepancy, Naughty Dog created several options to convey this information through sound and controller vibration instead.
Traversal and Combat Audio Cues work alongside the game's audio to map easily identifiable sounds to commonly used actions (scavenging pickups, jumping across gaps, dodging incoming melee attacks, etc.). These audio cues are cataloged in an audio glossary that you can refer back to at any time.
Additionally, menus and other on-screen text can be voiced using the Text-To-Speech* option. For those that have their language set to English and Text-to-Speech** enabled at the console level, The Last of Us Part II will automatically enable Text-to-Speech for you in-game.
* Text-to-speech features available in all supported languages, except for Thai
** Supported Text-to-Speech languages include: English, UK English, French, Italian, German, Danish, Turkish, Russian, Czech, German, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Croatian, LATAM Spanish
AUDIO VOLUMES
COMBAT ACCESSIBILITY
Because combat in The Last of Us Part II should be accessible for all players, there are a number of options that can significantly alter the gameplay experience. For instance, the Invisible While Prone feature allows you to experience stealth gameplay that might otherwise be inaccessible. If you have difficulty aiming, you can give yourself more time by enabling Slow Motion while aiming. These features provide you with all the tools you need to make the combat experience enjoyable and challenging.
HUD
If you’re deaf, hard-of-hearing, or need to play at low or no volume, you may not be able to access gameplay information that is only represented through audio.
To address this discrepancy, there are several options to display this information visually instead. Awareness Indicators allow you to determine when you’re being spotted in stealth; they also can be set to persist during combat, pointing in the direction of high-threat enemies.
SUBTITLES
Subtitles are an extremely popular accessibility feature, and The Last of Us Part II offers you with a wide array of customization options for them.
You can tweak the size and color, add a dark background for contrast, enable speaker names, and even a directional arrow for offscreen speakers. For the first time in a Naughty Dog game, you can enable subtitles for all systemic enemy dialogue during stealth and combat.
GAME DIFFICULTY
As an extension of the accessibility features, The Last of Us Part II also includes expanded difficulty options. At launch, you will see five different challenge levels: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Hard, and Survivor.
Players can also customize specific aspects of difficulty to your needs or desired experience. You can individually tweak difficulty settings related to incoming damage, enemy and ally effectiveness, stealth and resources. Trophies are not limited by difficulty.

Blind gamer sheds tears of joy at the amount of accessibility settings/options in The Last of Us 2.
I don't know what these settings are but considering that this person defines himself as a "Video Game Accessibility Consultant" (I haven't looked up his cv) then TLoU2 must be quite an achievement.
EDIT: Oh I can see now that @Lulcielid covered these options in an earlier post.

I had such a good experience with the original game, but lately I haven't really been looking forward to this. The hype has been coming and going since the weekend, so I'm looking forward to it now. I'm going digital for this one though, I don't want to risk not being able to play it this weekend.
