Ellie is 14 years old in the main story premise of The Last of Us Part I. PlayStation’s official synopsis calls her “14-year-old Ellie” as Joel is hired to smuggle her out of a military quarantine zone.
Ellie’s age in the main story
PlayStation’s official The Last of Us Part I page identifies Ellie as 14 in the premise of the game’s main story. The synopsis does not give a birthday or a timeline detailed enough to calculate her age at every point in Joel and Ellie’s journey.

Does Ellie stay 14 in Left Behind?
Not necessarily in every scene. The Last of Us Part I includes Left Behind, which PlayStation describes as a prequel chapter about events involving Ellie and her best friend Riley. Because it takes place before the main story, the main-story age of 14 should not automatically be applied to every flashback. PlayStation’s listing does not specify Ellie’s age in each scene of the chapter.
Which version of the game is this?
The Last of Us Part I is a remake of the original game. PlayStation lists it for PS5 and PC and gives its release date as September 2, 2022. Those platform and release details identify the version in question; they do not change the age stated for Ellie in the story premise.
