‘The Last of Us’ is the series of the moment. Its undeniable success has already earned it HBO to renew it for a second season. And that only three episodes have been released. But, what do you think if we tell you that you can see the first chapter totally free, without the need to have contracted a service or even to have created an account on HBO Max? It’s like that.
If you still don’t know what we’re talking about, know that this fiction made by Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) adapts the iconic video game written by Neil Druckman. Druckmann himself, in fact, acts as writer and producer to ensure that the adaptation is faithful and that it meets the expectations of the millions of fans who have played the two original games.
The first episode of ‘The Last of Us’, free on your iPhone or iPad
Without a doubt, the best way to get a taste of a series is to rewatch its pilot episode, a good way to analyze tone, style and genre. And that’s what those responsible for this series must have thought, because from the Youtube channel SkyTV you can watch the entire first chapter of “The Last of Us” for free. As you can see in the screenshot above, said video is one hour and 19 minutes long.
Of course, there’s a disclaimer in the fine print: this content is for UK viewers only. Which means that to be able to watch it from YouTube, we will have to have activated a VPN beforehand. It’s a very simple process, don’t worry. If you have never installed one, you will find some in the App Store.
There are dozens of free VPNs that offer several hours of usage per day and several countries including the UK at no cost. In summary, you will need to set up a VPN on your iPhone, a very simple task that you can do with Apple’s private passthrough, install a free VPN, or even create your own network. The steps for setting up a VPN are as follows:
- Enter the app Settings from your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down now in the section General.
- Tap the option vpn.
- Press on Add a VPN configuration.
- Picking out Type to select the type of protocol you prefer, from least secure to most secure.
- Also choose a description to remember the type of connection and the name of the ID
- Now type the username and password you will use to encrypt this connection.
- When you are done, press OKAY to accept the changes.
When you are already using a VPN and you have changed your IP so that Youtube understands that you are in the UK, you can see the pilot of ‘The Last of Us’ without any problem via this link: https://youtu. be/kzGMFpLIcyE
The icing on the cake, YouTube also gives you access to different subtitles, including for the deaf, and lets you watch the entire episode in 1080p resolution, a fairly high quality comparable to that of the HBOMax platform itself. Not bad for a free offer.
