In a virtual roundtable press event with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey attended by Looper, Ramsey noted that “neither of us are particular gamers” when asked how “The Last of Us” game prepared each of them for the series. In fact, Ramsey hadn’t even played the game before the audition to play Ellie. “I did watch some gameplay because I don’t have a console in order to play the game,” they said, explaining that after watching gameplay footage, they quickly understood why the franchise was so beloved. 

After filming the entire series, Ramsey admitted, “I still haven’t played it. It’s sitting at home, waiting for me to play it. But even without playing it, just like being in the world of it, I’m sort of obsessed with it. So, I understand the attachment that people have. It’s very special.”
